be advanced on the subjects treated of. Not- 
withstanding all difficulties or defects, he feels 
confident that his labours will prove useful to 
the proficient, and instructive to the young

PREFACE. 



A work of this kind may not be so amusing 
to some individuals as a pleasing romance ; yet 
it is hoped will prove to the Astronomical stu- 
dent and learner, gratifying and instructive. At 
the request of a select number of students, the 
present laborious calculations were made, in 
order to give others and themselves an opportu- 
nity of more perfectly understanding the appa- 
rent motions of the superior Planetary bodies 
herein mentioned, together with an illustration of 
the various phenomena the above planets present 
to us, the observers on this Earth, caused by the 
revolution of the planets and the earth, around 
the Sun, as the centre and great point of attrac- 
tion to the Solar System. I have given a correct 
Table of the longitude and latitude of 144 fixed 
stars, calculated up to 1836, which I hope will 
be acceptable to the student ; as by observation 
a 2

when it is very clear the student will he nearly able 
to trace the Ecliptic line at any hour of the 
night, by allowing for latitudes. The diagram 
in this work will shew the proportional distance 
of each planet's orbit, from the Earth and Sun, 
and also, that, the various Heliocentric aspects 
of the Earth in its revolution round the Sun, 
causes the Planets at one period to appear mov- 
ing direct, then swifter in motion, then slower, 
until stationary ; the next appearance is retrogra- 
dation or an apparent motion backwards in the 
degrees and signs, moving still faster back, then 
appearing less swift to retrograde, until again 
stationary, soon afterwards the Planets appear 
direct, according to their real motions in the 
signs, i. e. from West by South to East. The 
Planets' places are calculated for 44 years to 
come, for once a month, which will give the 
student or learner a much better idea by peru- 
sing the following pages of the motions of these 
planets, than by telling him that ^ revolves 
round the Sun in 84 years, Saturn in 29J years, 
Jupiter less than 12 years, and Mars in 687 
days, odd hours and minutes, &c. but by these

tables he can notice how much swifter $ passes 
through the signs in his orbit than the others ; 
his orbit being so very near the Earth and Sun 
when compared with the distances of % h or 
y. The cubes of the Planets' distances from 
the © in their orbit, being in exact proportion 
to the squares of their periodic revolution. It 
was originally intended in this work to have 
given the geocentric places of the superior pla- 
nets in degrees only, rejecting the overplus mi- 
nutes if less than 30 — but that has been over- 
ruled by the general opinion, that if the places 
in this work differ a few minutes from the true 
apparent places at one period, and be found 
to agree with them at another, it will prove amus- 
ing, and give a stimulus for observation. 






INTRODUCTION TO ASTRONOMY. 



This Introduction is merely intended to con- 
vey a sufficient idea to those who are not already 
acquainted with the solar system, the propor- 
tional distances of the Planets* orbits from the 
Sun, and the Earth, together with the apparent 
motions of the superior planets, as viewed from 
this Earth, called their geocentric places or 
motions. The path of the Planets or circles 
which their orbits describe in the heavens, 
is called the Zodiac. Suppose it a belt 20° 
wide with the Ecliptic, orbit, or path of the 
Earth in the centre thereof ; in as much as a 
planet's orbit differs from the exact plane of the 
Ecliptic, or orbit of the Earth, so much is the 
planet's latitude in degrees and minutes ; the 
points where these imaginary circles intersect the 
Ecliptic, are called the nodes. The ascend- 
ing node is that point which the planet enters 



i INTRODUCTION 

for north latitude, the opposite is the descending 
node for south latitude. The Zodiac is divided 
into 12 Constellations, called signs, each sign 
divided into 30 degrees, each degree into minutes 
and seconds. Of course our readers are ac- 
quainted with the 

Astronomical symbols.

According to the opinion of the ancients, the 
constellations were formed in the heavens by the 
fixed stars of various magnitudes ; I have given a 
list of some of the principal stars of these con- 
stellations in another part of this work, with a 
table to calculate their motions and places for 
past and future years. These stars appear to 



TO ASTRONOMY. 1 1 

have a motion of 50g seconds forward in the 
signs every year, caused by the Sun or Earth 
being later every year by 50J seconds to the 
conjunction of the same star, which is called 
the procession of the Equinox. The fixed 
stars are of various colours, some are observed 
to be double, others triple stars, and to change 
their magnitudes from the 1st and 2nd to the 
3rd, 4th, or 5th, and some again become their 
usual or former magnitude ; our limits are too 
small to say much more about these constella- 
tions and stars, it is but right to inform the 
learner and student that these stars are at such 
an immeasurable distance from the most remote 
planet of the Solar system, that the whole dia- 
meter of this Earth's orbit, ' 1 90 millions of miles,' 
is like a speck, when compared to their distances 
from us. Students will perceive when they 
inspect the diagram, that the revolution of the 
Earth in its orbit round the Sun, causes the Sun 
to appear in the opposite sign, to the Heliocen- 
tric place of the Earth; a little attention to the 
plate will describe it. The Heliocentric place of a 
Planet is the degree and sign of the Zodiac in 



12 TO ASTRONOMY. 

which a planet appears when viewed from the 
Sun. In October the Earth is in <Y\ but the 
Sun at that time appears to us in the opposite 
sign =£=. The Geocentric place of a planet is 
that degree and sign of the Zodiac, in which a 
planet appears when viewed from this Earth. 
There is often a great difference between the 
Geocentric and Heliocentric place, which entirely 
depends upon the distances of the planets from 
the Sun, and the aspects of this Earth in its 
revolution which I shall hereafter describe. It 
will be extremely useful to the young student 
to learn plain mathematics and the use of Geo- 
metry, it will direct him in this, and all his 
studies on a much more certain foundation. 
A student thus qualified will use his reasoning 
powers, consequently when a science is learned 
on these principles, it can never be forgotten, 
whilst the said individual retains his intellectual 
faculties. 1 have endeavoured to avoid the use 
of technical terms as much as possible, for the 
advantage of those who are not conversant there- 
in. I have said before that the Earth, and all the 
planets revolve round the Sun; each in the same 



TO ASTRONOMY. 13 

direction, viz. from West by South to East, at 
various distances, and in proportional periods 
to the said distances ; hence, the nearer a pla- 
net's orbit is to the Sun, the sooner will he 
perform his revolution from a star, to the same 
star or sign again. The more remote from the 
Sun, the longer is that planet performing his 
revolution. Those planets whose orbits lie 
within the circle of the Earth's orbit are called 
interior, or inferior planets, such as Venus or 
Mercury, but all those planets whose orbit is 
greater, and farther distant from the Sun, than 
the Earth's, are called superior planets, of which 
we shall speak presently. Heavenly bodies, 
such as the Moon, which revolves round the 
Earth, are called satellites; 6 are observed to 
attend the planet Herschel, 7 to attend the 
planet Saturn, with his wonderful ring ; and 4 
are observed to attend the planet Jupiter, in the 
same manner as the Moon revolves round this 
Earth, and reflecting their light received from 
the Sun on the dark places of those planets. 
It has been observed that y 's moons move in 
a contrary direction to all the planets and other 

B 



14 INTRODUCTION 

satellites, and nearly at right angles to the plane 
of his orbit, which is rather singular. We shall 
say nothing about comets in this work, as we in- 
tend merely to shew the reason why the supe- 
rior planets appear re trograde, stationary, and 
direct. In the first place, the further a planet's 
orbit is distant from the Sun and Earth, the 
less will be the difference in degrees and minutes 
between his Geocentric place as viewed from the 
Earth, and his Heliocentric place as viewed from 
the Sun. Secondly, the nearer any planet's orbit 
approximates to the Sun and Earth, the greater 
will be the angle of difference between that pla- 
net's Geocentric and Heliocentric place ; either 
forward or backward in the degrees and signs 
according to the Heliocentric position of the 
Earth at the time, which is particularly illustrated 
by the orbit of Mars. The diagram shews that 
when Mars is at his mean distance from the Sun, 
' that is at that part of his orbit, which is 90 
degrees from his Aphelion or Perihelion/ and 
the Earth at the same time is making an heliocen- 
tric aspect of 45° to or from the conjunction of 
Mars, that planet appears 42° degrees distant 



TO ASTRONOMY. 15 

from his Heliocentric or true place, in regard of 
the Sun and signs ; which sum of 42° is about 
Mars' greatest mean difference in that angle be- 
fore mentioned. For instance, if the Earth hap- 
pens to be in 20° of Aries, and Mars in 5° 
of Gemini, then Mars will appear as viewed from 
the Earth in about 1 6° of Cancer, but if the Earth 
happened to be in 20° of Cancer, then would 
Mars appear in about 2^ of Aries. Again, 
when a planet is in its Perihelion, which is at 
its nearest distance to the Sun, and aspected ac- 
cording to the rules we have laid down, that 
planet will shew his greatest angle of difference 
between his Heliocentric and Geocentric place, 
that can possibly occur, in the apparent motions 
of the said planet ; but if in his Aphelion, then 
he will appear to shew the least difference that can 
occur in his longitude as above stated ; hence 
Herschel differs in his Perihelion 3° 12', and in 
his Aphelion nearly 2 C 51', making a difference 
in the eccentricity of his orbit of about 21'. I? , 
in his Perihelion differs about 6° 26', and in his 
Aphelion about 5° 44', making a difference of 
about 42 '. % } in his Perihelion differs about 



1 6 INTRODUCTION 

1 1°52 / , and in his Aphelion about 10° 27', making 
a difference in his eccentricity of about 1° 25'. 

$, when in his Perihelion differs about 52°, but 
in his Aphelion about 34°, making a difference 
partly caused by the eccentricity of the orbit of 
Mars, and the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit, 
producing the apparent differences above stated, 
between the planet's Heliocentric and Geocentric 
places or motions. Let us observe here that 
any part of the above planet's orbits are subject 
to the same proportional apparent differences, 
produced according to the part or degree and 
sign in which the planet is placed at the time, on 
his orbit, and the Heliocentric aspect which such 
planet receives from the position of the Earth. 
For example, we shall take the nodes of the 
planets and state their Heliocentric places calcu- 
lated up to 1836: HerschePs &> n 13°; Saturn's 
8,22° 2,15'; % &** ©45'; $ 9> 18° « 17'. 
The figure (3) shews the point of the planet's 
orbit which intersects the orbit of the Earth or 
Ecliptic at A for north latitude ; B shows the 
greatest north latitude, and c the point a planet 
enters, (£$) called the descending node, in order 



TO ASTRONOMY. 17 

to proceed in his south latitude; and when at 
D, the planet shows his greatest south latitude. 
If you add three signs, or 90 degrees to the place 
of the ascending node above stated, you will 
have the place of that planet's greatest north 
latitude ; if you add the same number of degrees 
to the descending, or take the opposite point of 
the greatest north latitude, you will then have 
the degree and minute of that planet's greatest 
south latitude. The learner must be aware from 
what we have already stated that those places 
mentioned, viz. the ascending node, the greatest 
north and south latitude, and the descending 
node of any planet are all subject to the apparent 
mutations which we have described to belong to 
each of the planet's orbits. For instance, if Her- 
schel happens to be on his node ; or in his 
greatest point of latitude, and that the Earth is in 
aspect about 88° at a mean to the 6 of Herschel, 
that planet would appear to shew these places 
mentioned, to be situated about 3° from their true 
heliocentric places, before or after, backwards 
or forwards, from the degrees and signs stated 
above. The planet Saturn may, when aspected 
b 2 



1 INTRODUCTION 

by the Earth at 85 degrees distance, at a mean 
from the conjunction of the planet in those places 
the &, &c. appear 6 degrees from the heliocentric 
places, backwards or forwards, in the signs, de- 
grees or minutes distanced as above. Jupiter 
likewise receiving the heliocentric aspect of 80° 
at a mean from the Earth, is likely to exceed 1 1 
backwards or forwards, from the above places, 
just as the aspect may be, either dexter or si- 
nister. Mars is the next planet to be spoken 
of; when the Earth happens to aspect this pla- 
net, (at any of those points described as & £9 , or 
the point of greatest north or south latitude, or 
any other heliocentric places,) or at the distance 
from the conjunction of Mars of 45 degrees, at 
a mean either applying to or past the conjunc- 
tion at the proper aspected distance, Mars is 
liable not to differ less than 34 degrees or more 
than 52°, between his apparent, or geocentric 
place, and the heliocentric places above described. 
When the Earth applies with an heliocentric 
aspect to or from the conjunction of the follow- 
ing planets, these planets shew their greatest 
angle of mean difference between their heliocen- 
tric and geocentric longitude.

20 INTRODUCTION 

It is proper to inform the student that although 
the diagram, Fig. 1 , shews the orbit of the planets 
at their mean distances as parts of circles, and 
circles, supposing the sun as the centre of each 
circle, in order to make the first idea of the 
solar system more plain to the understanding ; 
yet really the orbits of the planets belonging to 
the solar system are elliptical. Having the sun 
in one centre, nearer to one side of the conjugate 
diameter, which is called the Perihelion, and 
furthest from the other side of the conjugate 
diameter is called the Aphelion. Those distances 
on the transverse sides shew the mean distances 
from the sun in that orbit, the small figure No. 
2, will explain it more clearly, and the table of 
Aphelions will inform the student in what part 
of the zodiac these places and positions are 
situated. The orbit of Venus is very near the 
form of a circle as dotted on fig. 1. It is also 
proper to add, according to the tables of the cele- 
brated Vince, the orbits of the planets are calcu- 
lated as an exact ellipsis, which does not differ much 
(at least to the eye of a superficial observer) from 



* TO ASTRONOMY. 21 

the form of a circle, except when very eccentric 
like the orbit of § ; the greatest variation is 
produced from the difference of centres ; ^ centre 
differs 5° 20' ; b differs 6° 26' ; % differs 5° 30' ; 
c? differs 10° 49', from the centre of the Sun : 
which accounts for those differences above 
described ; the centre of the Earth's orbit differs 
nearly 2 degrees from the centre of the Sun. The 
Sun appears larger at one period, viz. winter, than 
when at the opposite point in summer. 

Figure 1. — Shews the mean proportional 
distances of the planets' orbits from the Earth 
and Sun. In this figure the orbits are drawn as 
circles, and parts of circles, the Sun being the 
centre ; we wish the student to understand that a 
knowledge of the apparent motions is essential : in 
order to make the diagram more explicit, we have 
shewn the difference which the semi -diameter of 
the Earth's orbit produces on the apparent places 
of the planets, as viewed from the Sun : the darts 
on the figure shew the direct motions of the 
planets in their orbits. The student will perceive 
the line drawn through the centre of the Earth, 
and continued to each of the planets ; now, if 



22 INTRODUCTION 

you suppose the Earth to move rouna the Suu 
in its orbit, you will, by observing the point of 
this index or line which it describes in the zodiac, 
take notice as the Earth approaches the planet 
in that half of its orbit, which is in the same 
signs with the planet, that the nearer the Earth 
approaches the conjunction, the more swift does 
the planet seem to retrograde, again become 
more slow, then stationary ; but as the Earth 
moves in the opposite semi-circle of its orbit, 
the planet appears to move direct. The lines 
drawn through the bodies of the planets from the 
Earth in its orbit, shews the effect, which the 
semi-diameter of the Earth's orbit has on the 
orbit of each planet ; and also shews the more 
remote the planet is from the Earth and Sun, the 
less is this difference perceptible. If you observe 
the dotted line z, where it intersects those Helio- 
centric decrees marked on the orbit of each 
planet, first, on the orbit of Mars a mean differ- 
ence of 42 degrees ; on the orbit of Jupiter 
over 1 1 degrees ; on the orbit of Saturn over 
6 degrees ; and on the orbit of Herschel a little 
more than 3 degrees; by which means you can 



TO ASTRONOMY. 23 

see those proportions entirely depend upon the dis- 
tance and angle of the semi- diameter of the Earth's 
orbit, and as the Earth revolves in its orbit, 
these angles above described decrease and increase 
according to the aspect of the Earth at the time ; 
for instance, when the Earth is in conjunction, or 
opposition of any planet, there is no difference be- 
tween the heliocentric place and geocentric place, 
because they are in the same right line with the 
Sun ; consequently there can be no angle of differ- 
ence during the period of exact conjunction, but 
the Earth continues to roll on in its orbit, and 
soon makes another angle as described before. 

In order to demonstrate the planets' apparent 
motion more particularly, we shall suppose the 
planet Mars is fixed on that part of his orbit at 
o, suppose the Earth to be in that part of its 
orbit at A, with the index line drawn through 
both centres, and to continue on each centre as 
the Earth revolves all round in its orbit. You 
will observe that Mars would appear to the 
earthly observer as stationary in the view from 
a, but from a to B the planet Mars would appear 
to move direct in his orbit, from B to c, he would 



24 INTRODUCTION 

appear still to increase his velocity ; as the Earth 
moves on to c, and when at c, Mars will appear in 
conjunction with the Sun, there being no difference 
at that point between his heliocentric and geo- 
centric longitude on c ; but from c to D Mars 
will appear less swift in motion as he approaches 
D, from D to E he appears slower in motion, 
until at e, where he appears stationary ; as the 
Earth passes from e to F, Mars appears to retro- 
grade, in the signs increasing his velocity until 
at F, where the and $ are on one right line 
with the ; during this period there is no 
difference between the heliocentric and geocen- 
tric longitude in degrees and minutes, being each 
the same, but as the Earth revolves on to a, Mars 
decreases his retrograde velocity, until the Earth 
arrives at a, where Mars appears stationary for a 
short period until the Earth approaches B, when 
he again appears direct; which, we hope, will 
perfectly explain Fig. 1 , as relates to the apparent 
motion caused by the aspects of the Earth. But 
in reality Mars and the Earth would both move 
in their orbits and the aspect of A and E would 



TO ASTRONOMY. 25 

happen in about every 25^ months appearing 
retrograde between two and three months. 

Fig. 2. — Shews the eccentricity of the orbit 
of Mars, and its position in respect of the orbit 
of this Earth ; the figure shews the Sun in one 
focus of the orbit of the Earth and of the orbit of 
Mars, each orbit being eccentric and differing 
from the form of an exact circle, and inclining to 
the form of an ellipsis ; the line cc drawn through 
the centre of the Sun shews the difference between 
the position of the centre of the Sun, and the 
centre of the orbit of Mars. A the Aphelion, 
bb the mean distances from the Sun, and p shews 
the perihelion of Mars, and also demonstrates the 
reason why the difference between the heliocentric 
and geocentric angle, should vary nearly 20 de- 
grees, and all the other phenomena produced as 
already described. It must seem to the most 
careless observer of this figure, that Mars does 
appear considerably larger to us when in that 
part of his orbit called the perihelion, and the 
Earth in that part of its orbit in 6 w T ith the 
planet Mars ; then the said planet would at the 
opposite part of his orbit called the aphelion, ap- 






26 INTRODUCTION 

pears three times as large, or in proportion to the 
distance between each, the aphelion or perihelion. 

The aphelion of Mars is in 3° 3 ' Virgo. 

ditto Earth — 9° 20' Capricorn, 

ditto Jupiter — 1 1° 42' Libra 
ditto Saturn — 29° 43' Sagittarius, 
ditto Herschel — 17<> 52' Pisces. 

Fig. 3, — Explains the ascending and de- 
scending nodes, north and south latitude. When 
a planet is in that part of his orbit at A, he is on 
the ecliptic line in his node ; but as the planet 
moves on to B increases his north latitude, but 
from B to c decreases north latitude, and on c is 
again on the ecliptic in his descending node, 
increasing his south latitude until at D, his 
greatest south latitude; from D to A the planet 
decreases in south latitude, until he arrives again 
upon the ascending node at A. 

Fig. 4. — Shews the proportional magnitudes 
of the seven planets. I have to remark that the 
proportional diameter of the Sun would be ten 
times greater than the largest of those planets ; 
much might be said on the wonderful magnitude 



TO ASTRONOMY. 27 

of the planet Jupiter, when compared to the 
trifling proportion of the diameter of this Earth. 
If those persons who impiously condemn the 
science of Astrology, were but for one moment 
to consider the insignificant weight of all this 
great world, when compared to some of the 
heavenly bodies belonging to the solar system ; for 
instance, the planets Saturn and Jupiter, (which 
must be apparent to any one who feels disposed

heavenly bodies. 

Smaller bodies near us exert as much influence 
as larger bodies four times their size at double 
the distance.

* To find the longitude of a star for past years, subtract 
the degrees, minutes, and seconds in the Table correspond- 
ing to the number of years prior to 1836 from the longi- 
tude of the star, and you will have its true longitude for the 
given year; — if for future years, add the degrees, minutes, 
and seconds corresponding to the number of years after 
1836. 



ADDRESS TO STUDENTS, 

#c. Sfc. 



To persons that not only delight in the sub- 
lime contemplation of the heavenly bodies, but 
who are desirous of adding thereto the ancient 
science of Astrology, this small work will 
be found particularly useful. I have no doubt 
there are many Gentlemen possessing great men- 
tal endowments, and who have leisure time to dis- 
pose of, who prefer to enjoy themselves with 
these studies, by inquiring into the principles, 
doctrines and truth of the Astrological science, 
which is by no means an easy task, much rather 
than to employ their time and abilities in a man- 
ner less amusing or profitable. Not only does this 
subject require a sound judgment but also an acute 
and penetrating mind ; a knowledge of geometry, 
to a certain degree, will be found indispensable. 
Phrenology, physiognomv, and astrology will 
f 2 



66 ADDRESS 

be found by experience perfectly to harmonize, 
and bear testimony alternately to eacb otber; 
tbe pbrenologist ougbt to be an astrologer, and 
an astronomer ; tbe astrologer ougbt to be a 
pbrenologist a^id pbysiognomist ; and the phy- 
siognomist ougbt to study both, in order to form 
a solid basis whereon to build and guide his 
judgment. I beg leave to inform the reader that 
it is only my intention to mention these hints to 
tbe young students, therefore the more learned 
will please to excuse my suggestions. A young 
person who has a desire to obtain a perfect know- 
ledge of either of these amusing studies should 
be well able to delineate his ideas, and have an 
excellent, correct, and expert method of drawing 
projections of various kinds ; particularly that 
kind of projection known by tbe name of Mer- 
cator's ; in order to be enabled to make a correct 
planisphere of the heavens, the ecliptic, and the 
earth, by which means the student will be assisted 
very much in his ideas relative to the positions of 
the planets and stars, both in respect of their 
zodiacal and mundane position, which if properly 
done will shew the difference between longitude, 



TO STUDENTS. 67 

latitude, right ascension and declination, at 
one view ; the practice of the different pro- 
jections necessary for astrological and astrono- 
mical purposes will so far assist to render the 
most difficult problem explicit, and so easily 
imprint on the mind of a clever student, that he 
can thereby, as it were, survey the heavens, the 
earth, and all planetary and other significations, 
to guide his judgment therein ; and prevent him 
from entertaining any fallacious or ambiguous 
notions which are contrary to nature, science, 
and truth. In the true projection of a planisphere, 
the degrees of declination are to be correctly mea- 
sured according to number, from a line of tangents ; 
the reason I think this necessary to mention for 
the notice of the young student, is, there have 
been many disputations amongst persons, de- 
claring some methods to be more correct than 
others ; the fact is, there can only be one true 
method. The degrees measured on the line of tan- 
gents will exactly compensate for the loss a given 
angle (with the plane of the equator towards the 
poles) must sustam, if only the equatorial degrees 
are measured from the equator to the north and 



68 ADDRESS 

south as a scale of the declinations, which is a 
very incorrect idea ; when the right ascensions 
and declinations are drawn correctly, the student 
must next proceed to project the ecliptic line 
upon and from the scale of right ascensions and 
declinations ; the said ecliptic line will form an 
angle of twenty-three degrees, twenty-eight 
minutes, or nearly so, with the plane of the equa- 
tor. The student will find from tables, the right 
ascension and declination that correspond with 
every five degrees on the ecliptic line, which must 
be marked with a fine point ; a strip of flexible 
brass, or lance wood, bent to take these points ; 
by drawing a line through the centre of all these 
points, it will give the ecliptic line complete; 
the right ascension will give the place of every 
degree, which must be marked with the signs, 
&c. &c. The lines on which the latitudes are to 
be measured must be drawn through every 
degree on the ecliptic line, at right angles with 
the said ecliptic line, which line of latitudes so 
drawn will point to the pole of the heavens. All 
ri^ht lines which are drawn through a circle 
from the centre, make riodit angles with the 



TO STUDENTS. 69 

<*ircum fere nee ; therefore all right lines which 
point to the centre of a given circle, will form 
right angles with its circumference. The reason I 
mention this, the young student must be informed 
that the neglect of this proposition is one of 
the errors that still exists in all the planispheres 
that I have observed for astrological pur- 
poses ; the lines of latitude intersecting the 
zodiacal degrees and signs in those planispheres 
are not drawn at right angles with the ecliptic 
thereof: therefore those lines cannot point to the 
pole of the heavens, but to some other place 
contrary to reason ; the only two places in those 
defective projections that the lines are correctly 
pointed to the pole of the heavens is in the first 
point of Cancer and Capricorn, which happens 
more from chance than reasoning. The limits of 
this work will not allow me to describe all the 
necessary instruments that are useful and the 
methods of projecting them ; a planisphere of 
the heavens and earth should not be made 
shorter than three feet, nor longer than five feet ; 
the first would be too small if made shorter, and 
the latter may be inconvenient if longer ; the 



70 ADDRESS 

student can do as he pleases in this respect. 
The tables of the planetary transits, or ingresses 
in this work, will be a great guide (not only to 
the student, but to the proficient in Astrology) of 
the effects that may be expected at certain 
periods from the ingress of the superiors over 
the radical places in the natal figure, their transi- 
tory good or evil aspects with the significators, 
and their ingress over the place of a solar or lunar 
direction, as also when they transit the ascendant, 
or either of the other angles, their effects are 
always very powerful, especially when retrograde. 
If primary or secondary directions were ever so 
good and promising, an evil transit of Herschel 
('* according to some opinions") or of Saturn, 
more particularly over the place the direction falls 
in, if near the ecliptic, or on the body of the 
promissor, it will be found nearly to destroy all 
the good resulting therefrom. The student should 
be aware that the slow motion of superior planets 
operate most powerfully, particularly when they 
are retrograde, and if Mars happens to retrograde 
over a significator or direction in a nativity as 
mentioned, he will act with most powerful 



TO STUDENTS. 71 

violence and sudden action ; like gun-shot, or 
lightning. It often happens at the period that 
good directions come into operation, that a com- 
bination of evil transits, aspects, and positions, 
frustrate or retard the benefit expected: when 
evil is threatened by malign directions, the 
effect of a good transit, of the ponderous Jupiter 
at the exact period, should it transit or pass over 
this part of the zodiac where the evil is threatened, 
will by his transitory influence prevent, amelio* 
rate, or neutralize the effects anticipated ; there- 
fore those ingress Tables are of the utmost 
importance for the use of students that wish 
their opinions of good and evil directions to 
approximate as near the truth as possible. There 
is much amusement and profitable instruction to 
be derived from studies of this class, and by 
judging from the ancient rules of this science, 
we become philosophically prepared to meet an 
evil with more fortitude, and to take a more 
decided advantage of a good direction ; this 
science affords to the mind of the man of genius 
and] ability a continual fund of amusement, by 
seeing the rules of this science and his own 



72 ADDRESS 

predictions verified, according to scientific order 
and principles. There are many things to be 
considered in judicial astrology ; one argument 
against another; one testimony for, and perhaps 
two against ; at other times several testimonies 
for and against the expected event ; astrological, 
phrenological, and physiognomical judgments 
ought to be well weighed before an answer is given, 
or an opinion is formed ; for if the student is too 
hasty in his decision, he will soon afterwards 
perceive some argument to neutralize what he, 
at a hasty glance, considered positive. Students 
of astrology are very often useful to their friends 
by giving them a timely precaution to avoid an 
evil and at other times suggesting the propriety 
of taking the most advantage of a good or fortu- 
nate period or expectation. The man who 
endeavours to study human nature, and to class 
different individuals by the assistance of phreno- 
logy or physiognomy, can never be expected to 
complete his observations, or even to bring them 
into a correct form without the aid and assistance 
of mathematics and astrology, which includes with 
the others, four essential branches, for persons to 



TO STUDENTS. 73 

be acquainted with, who choose to amuse them- 
selves in this scientific way. The tables of the 
longitude and latitude of 144 selected fixed stars 
will be found correct up to the year 1836, with 
rules for calculating their longitude for past and 
future years, which, I have no doubt, will be found 
very useful to the student in placing those stars in 
the proper positions which they are to occupy in a 
nativity or other figure of importance, with more 
exactness than I have seen in use; there have 
been tables of the fixed stars published at various 
periods for astrological purposes ; but unfortu- 
nately in many of those tables the longitude of 
several stars is very incorrect. I need only 
mention one instance, Archturus has been placed 
more than a degree preceding the Virgin spica 
star in longitude ; whereas, the true place of 
Archturus in the ecliptic succeeds the longitude 
of the Virgin spica in the sign Libra. The 
author hopes that students will be enabled in their 
inquiries, by this table of the fixed stars, to 
ascertain if those stars of the first and second 
magnitudes are really significators of importance, 
when in conjunction or aspect to the planets or 



74 ADDRESS 

angles of a nativity ; it is, at least, worth the 
experimental observation of all those who minutely 
enter into the study of this science. The fixed 
stars differ from each other in magnitude and 
colour. " Ptolemy was of opinion that the ruddy 
coloured stars were of the nature of Mars, those 
fixed stars which emit a bright white light of the 
nature of Venus, those like the colour of Mer- 
cury, Saturn, Jupiter, or * Herschel,' of the same 
nature as the planets whose colour they represent. 
Stars of the first magnitude were more potent than 
those of the second, third, or fourth magnitude in 
signification. Those fixed stars near the ecliptic 
line, especially such as Regulus in the sign Leo, 
or the Virgin spica in Libra being more power- 
ful significators than stars of the same magnitude 
having greater latitude.'' I leave these important 
considerations to the student's own observations, 
as I have neither space nor opportunity at present 
to correct the ancient errors, if any exist, on 
the subject of their nature and colour. Several 
of the fixed stars have been observed to change 
their magnitudes, and perhaps, at the same time, 
their nature, according to an astrological 



TO STUDENTS. 15 

expression ; because a star of the first magnitude 
cannot appear so bright, or, perhaps, of the same 
colour, as it does when changed from the first to 
the third or fourth magnitude, such is my opinion 
only. Herschel's tables of the fixed stars, classed 
in a superior style, are well worth the perusal of 
every astronomical and astrological student, in 
order to give them a much better information on 
the nature and colour of the fixed stars, than any 
astrological work has given on the subject. Some 
students are of opinion that the conjunctions and 
aspects of the fixed stars of the first, second and 
third magnitude should be regarded, particularly 
those stars vertical to the place of birth, on the 
cusps of the houses, or in conjunction with the 
planets and significators in the natal figure. The 
more famous the fixed star, the more conspicuous 
will its signification be manifested. The student 
w r ill always find something new and instructing in 
this science, and one inquiry will lead him to 
another ; the pleasure which a knowledge of 
astrology imparts to the mind cannot be fully 
appreciated, except by those who are well 
versed in all its significations, and in those 
different branches of information which I have 



7t> ADDRESS 

named before. It is necessary to inform the 
student that he will find a great deal more 
information upon natal and state astrology in 
Ptolemy's Quadripartite, than will at the first 
reading thereof seem evident, but on a more 
studious observation the inquiry will handsomely 
repay the young student for his endeavours 
to obtain the required information. Lilly's Astro- 
logy is a valuable book to consult for horary 
questions, and possesses a great deal of information 
for the astrologian ; but for a small pocket 
volume Eland's Tutor to Astrology by Parker, 
will be found a compact little work, with tables 
for calculating directions, &c. &c. I would wish 
to impress on the mind of the Student that many 
of the tables in old astrological works are very 
incorrect ; the table of houses in Eland, and 
many others that I have examined, ought not to 
be depended upon. Placidus should be read, and 
the works of Partridge on astrology will also be 
found excellent : there are many new works from 
which the student will obtain great assistance ; 
but those old works I have mentioned will be 
quite sufficient to read "as standard works/' and 
will always be essential for reference. 



TO STUDENTS. 7/ 

Many persons are aware that they have at 
certain periods fancied how much they should 
like to become acquainted with such or such an 
individual ; perhaps after the desired introduction 
has taken place, and on a short or long acquaint- 
ance, they have discovered that the individual 
whose manners and disposition they imagined so 
pleasing to their own fancy, proves, from exami- 
nation and experience, that the said individual is 
possessed of very different principles and dispo- 
sition to what the erroneous fancy painted on the 
imagination of the desirous person. But the 
man who is conversant with the rules of Phreno- 
logy, Physiognomy, and Astrology, (although the 
last mentioned is not the least decided criterion 
to guide the judgment in such matters) ; a science 
which teaches us to know that if the significators 
at the birth of each, (the person and individual 
who are anxious to become friends or acquaint- 
ances,) does not harmonise by position and aspect 
with each others planet's places, in the natal 
figure of each ; that acquaintance thus formed, 
must prove injurious to either party if of long 
duration. If their planetary significators are in 
G 2 



78 ADDRESS 

no aspect to each other, we may then conclude 
that the slightest disagreement breaks off all 
acquaintance between the parties, and they sepa- 
rate as completely as if they had never known 
each other; again, when the significators in the 
one nativity square, or oppose those in the na- 
tivity of the other, then they will separate with 
a severe dispute or quarrel, the nature of which 
the significators will show ; but if the planets in 
each nativity harmonise with sextile, or trine 
aspects^ or by conjunctions, &c. this will be a 
strong argument that kindness and mutual friend- 
ship will continually exist between such persons. 
The positions and aspects of the luminaries ought 
to be most particularly regarded in this enquiry, 
for if the sun in one nativity is in the same sign 
and degree of the sun or moon in the other's na- 
tivity, each to change places, or behold in trine 
or sextile, that friendship formed by such per- 
sons, (if the other testimonies agree) will be per- 
manent, profitable, and of long duration. In as 
much as Phrenology and Physiognomy guides the 
generality of persons in forming their opinions 
of individuals with whom they wish to become 



TO STUDENTS. 79 

acquainted as friends or acquaintances, yet from 
too partial a feeling the Student of Phrenology or 
Physiognomy may be known to err; but a good 
knowledge of both, united with the science of 
Astrology, will be found to make a complete prin- 
ciple to act upon in such cases ; but without the 
assistance of Astrology, the rules of Phrenology, 
and Physiognomy will often cause the judgment 
to be dubious ; if the rules of Astrology are con- 
sulted, it will fix, and decide the judgment and 
knowledge of Phrenology and Physiognomy. Now 
if we are to admit that a selection of individuals 
for friends and agreeable acquaintances is a desi- 
deratum of great importance to every one that 
delights to enjoy peace and happiness in the cir- 
cle of their friends and acquaintances, and that 
such arrangements are necessary for the choice 
of friends, or of those whose acquaintance may 
be changed at pleasure ; how much more particu- 
larly are these considerations to be taken into 
account by those persons of each sex who are 
about to unite themselves by the bond of matri- 
mony for life, or until that period arrives, when 
one or the other's dissolution or death takes 



80 ADDRESS 

place. This consideration of agreement I am 
sorry to say is a circumstance too lightly regarded 
by the majority of persons who unite themselves 
to each other in this way ; and very often con- 
tinue to live together or separate, unhappily for 
years, which might be prevented, if the parties 
were to take the trouble of a few hours study, 
application, or inquiry ; an Astrologer, Phreno- 
logist and Physiognomist perfectly understands 
that when the animal feelings and desires are 
permitted to act more powerfully than the intel- 
lectual or reasoning faculty, considerations such 
as I have described are never thought of, until 
too late. That knowledge which teaches us 
to guide our actions with discretion, to discern 
the difference between a continual sympathy, and 
a continual antipathy, or the difference between 
occasional or accidental sympathies and acci- 
dental antipathies ; such knowledge is valuable 
to all those who love peace and good will, there- 
fore a knowledge of astrology is decidedly pro- 
fitable to any one who has sufficient abilities 
to comprehend its rules, and to appreciate its 
value. A difference of years in the age of persons 



TO STUDENTS. 81 

is not so much the cause of disagreement amongst 
individuals as the radical temperament, and aspect 
of the planets and stars at the birth of each indi- 
vidual so circumstanced. I have known indivi- 
duals whose planetary positions at birth nearly 
harmonised with each other's by good aspects ; 
and it is impossible to describe the love, harmony, 
and good will, that perpetually existed between 
them ; although these persons often quarrelled 
with some of their friends, yet they never quarrelled 
or used angry words against each other, on the 
contrary always endeavoured to please each other ; 
therefore the astrological rules of agreement are 
not positive assertions, without having many times 
put them to the test of truth : several circum - 
stances and proofs may be given and stated from 
observations of my own and others on this sub- 
ject, but the limits of this work will not allow of 
particulars. There are many persons who are well 
acquainted with the truth and information which 
can be derived from an impartial astrological in- 
quiry ; a smiling face may deceive, and a beau- 
tiful head and form may mislead our opinions, 
but the silent language of the planetary positions 



82 ADDRESS 

at the birth of an individual will never deceive 
those who are capable of making the inquiry. 
If persons have not got the ability themselves 
to make this inquiry, and are anxious to obtain 
the astrological judgment of agreement and other 
questions spoken of, there are some very respect- 
able individuals who profess a knowledge of this 
science, and may be consulted on this subject 
for a moderate remuneration ; therefore on that 
account, many persons are less excusable for not 
making use of this inquiry, especially when either 
their future happiness or miserymay depend upon 
the result of their union, or other critical points 
to which we are all subject. Some persons will say, 
certainly it must be allowed that some individuals 
are very often unfortunate in their choice, and too 
apt to place their strong affections upon certain 
individuals of their acquaintance or seeming 
friends, which all the philosophers in the world 
cannot persuade them from, until overwhelmed 
with disappointment or misery ; but this is no 
argument against what I have advanced, as the 
astrologer can perceive that inclination in the 
nativity of the individual, the physiognomist may 



TO STUDENTS. 83 

discover a tendency thereto from the countenance 
of the said individual, and the phrenologist may 
find evidence of the same from the combination 
of testimonies in the organic form of the cranium, 
or on the external surface of the head over the 
brain. 

The phrenologists class the organs of the 
head and brain into different compartments, for 
various significations; the physiognomist does the 
same with the countenance ; likewise the astrolo- 
ger classes the heavens and earth each into twelve 
divisions or compartments, from thence, and the 
planetary significators placed therein, &c. he 
judges of the nature, abilities, &c. of an indivi- 
dual ; every impartial man will easily discern 
the utility of uniting the three sciences thus 
mentioned. The phrenologist who may deny 
any truth to exist in the principles of physiognomy 
or astrology, must appear as inconsistent and 
ridiculous, as the physiognomist who may deny 
the'truth of phrenological or astrological rules ; 
the astrologian must be as inconsistent as either 
the physiognomist or phrenologist, if he were to 
disbelieve the existence and utility of each. 



84 ADDRESS 

These and all other sciences, founded upon 
mathematical principles, by attentive study will 
be found to harmonise, one bears testimony to 
support the existence, and confirm the use of 
the other. Many animals are known to possess 
an instinct of foreknowledge to a certain extent ; 
and does it appear unreasonable or impious to 
suppose that men should be guided to foresee the 
probable event or nature of things, from an 
exertion of reason, science, or knowledge. If 
such ideas are considered impious by some per- 
sons, they must also acknowledge that the brute 
creation are superior to man, which is both in- 
consistent and absurd. What naturalists call 
instinct in animals of the brute creation, I take 
the liberty to term presentiment, as belonging to 
man, which when combined with the rules of 
science, and the reasoning powers of probability, 
precedent, and comparison, that such a cause will 
produce such an effect, or that a certain signifi- 
cation, shows that a certain effect will follow. 
Every man is possessed of a certain foreknowledge 
and presentiment, vet many persons deny an 
existence of the possibility to foretell any thing. 



TO STUDENTS. 85 

How often we have heard such persons contradict 
themselves by speaking to their friends about 
some individual, exclaiming, u I told you that he 
was a scamp, he looked like a rogue, I supposed 
he would deceive you ;" yet these very persons 
deny that any one else can know as well as they 
do, by judging from similar rules ; speaking of 
a speculation, you often hear such persons say, 
" I told you that business would not answer, no 
one ever prospered in that house : I knew your 
endeavours would fail;' 1 this is a sort of instinctive 
prophecy, which if we admit to exist in human 
beings, certainly when aided by learning or 
science, the judgment must be considerably im - 
proved in predictions. Every man to a certain 
extent is a physiognomist, phrenologist, and 
prognosticator of future events ; it is actually a 
part and parcel of our reasoning and preceptive 
faculty, exerted to guide and assist us through the 
pleasures or difficulties of this life. The mariner 
predicts a storm from the appearance of a scud in 
the sky ; persons fearlessly judge from the colour of 
the clouds at the rising or setting sun, at high 
water, or at other times, by either the new or full

moon, what kind of weather we shall have ; from 
the shooting of the stars, they predict from 
whence wind is likely to come, and a variety of 
other significations, too numerous to mention. 

Astrology has been practised and studied by 
men of learning in all ages. I shall give a list of 
some few names of the eminent men who either 
patronized, studied, or practised this science. It 
is a well known fact that many eminent men 
have derived great pleasure and information from 
astrological studies ; physicians in ancient times 
were not considered fit to practise, if ignorant 
of the astrological rules of physic, the antipa- 
thy of one plant or herb, and the sympathy of 
another, the nature of the different plants, roots, 
herbs, trees, &c. or of consulting the state of the 
sick astrologically, constitutionally, and physically, 
discovering the nature of the disease, and admini- 
stering that kind of medicine which either cured 
the patient by sympathy, or eradicated the disease 
by antipathy. By this means many extraordinary 
cures were effected ; there are some students who 
are truly astonishing in their judgment of diseases, 
drawn from the astrological figure of decumbiture. 



TO STUDENTS. 87 

Those students who are fond of this kind of study 
may consult the best edition of Culpepper's Herbal 
in three volumes, which contains a good deal of 
information on the subject. There have been many 
excellent cures performed from the ancient rules 
of physical astrology from herbs, trees, seeds or 
plants, according to the patient's disease, the nature 
of the herb and medicine used, was either martial, 
solar, venal, saturnine, lunar, jovial, or mercurial 
in quality. The sympathy of the planets, of the 
herbs, &c. with the different parts of the body 
astrologically considered, affords much pleasing, 
curious, and profitable information to an inquir- 
ing mind. The young student ought to study 
human nature, the habits, customs, and incli- 
nations of persons born in the different foreign 
countries ; a man born in London, and one in 
Paris, another born in Alexandria, although at 
the same period of time, but from the difference 
of the ascending degrees, or from the difference of 
climates, the nature and disposition of the parents, 
or education, conduces much to alter or prejudice 
the natural qualities of each individual. If two 
persons were born at the same place and moment 



88 ADDRESS 

of time In different spheres of life, the one in high 
life, the other in poor and humble circumstances, 
although the accidents or fortunate circumstances 
shall happen to each person about the same 
period ; this does not argue that because the 
poor person's child has been born at the same 
time as the rich person's child that each shall 
be equally rich, most certainly not ; but when 
the person who has been born in high life receives 
a great deal of wealth, the person in low life 
shall receive a benefit great for his sphere of life, 
perhaps not amounting to the one-hundredth part 
as much as the rich person received : under good 
directions each person shall prosper according to 
their sphere of life, which is a consideration that 
ought never to be forgotten by the student. The 
sphere of life in which we move as individuals 
and our mental endowments entirely decide the 
fortune and kind of proportional benefit we may 
expect from good directions, and the ill effect 
of malevolent directions, transits, &c. for in the 
different spheres of life, there are different classes 
of troubles and annoyance. If a poor man has 
got sufficient abilities to make an excellent coun- 



TO STUDENTS. 89 

sellor, or statesman, but not moving in that class 
of life to entitle him to rank equal to his abilities, 
he remains in comparative oblivion, except amongst 
a few friends, or perhaps shines forth in the 
assembly of porters and labourers at an ale-house, 
or other place of amusement, according to his 
sphere of life ; if better circumstanced, perhaps 
he may distinguish himself at public or parish 
meetings and other places of assembly. It is a 
very erroneons opinion of some persons who wish 
to know the fate or abilities of a child, or an 
adult, by endeavouring to keep the astrologian 
ignorant of the sphere of life in which the native 
moves, or is likely to move ; as that circumstance 
alone will materially alter the judgment, in as 
much as high life differs from low life, every 
thing in nature acts in mathematical proportion, 
according to order and spheres, times, seasons, 
and years, every individual is subject to these 
laws, which we must allow are just and impartial. 
All persons who have got a princely position of 
the planets at their birth will not be kings or 
princes over nations, but you may depend they 
will be esteemed or rank as princes and superiors

90 ADDRESS 

in the sphere or class of society in which thev 
exist or live ; it sometimes happens that a porter 
or labourer in an establishment is the sole guide 
and prime minister to his employer, the merchant 
or tradesman ; perhaps if the porter or labourer 
were born in a different sphere of life as a peer of 
the realm, he might become a prime minister or 
confidential adviser to the kin£ • this is the 
manner in which a young student should con- 
sider things of this nature, all according to order, 
rank and position. 

Many students are in the habit of erecting 
figures or charts of the heavens, according to the 
mean clock time, this method is sometimes liable 
to great errors, especially as the true position of a 
figure alone can be depended upon, for the givers 
of life, and all the other significators may perhaps 
be actually angular in the true figure, calculated 
from the solar time, but in the chart, calculated 
for mean time only, these significators may be 
situated in cadent houses, which makes a serious 
dirference. Suppose a figure is erected for 
October tin twenty-eighth, three hours twenty 
minutes past noon, 1805. tie equation of time 



TO STUDENTS. 91 

being sixteen minutes, the mean clock time will 
give eleven degrees fifty-three minutes of the sign 
Pisces on the cusp of the ascendant, but the 
true and solar time will give twenty- one degrees 
twenty- seven minutes of the same sign ; making 
a difference in the ascendant, by neglecting the 
equation of mean time to make it solar time, 
of nine degrees thirty-four minutes. In the 
month of February there is an equation to be 
subtracted from the mean clock time of fourteen 
minutes nearly on an average, which will make a 
difference from the mean clock time of eight de- 
grees four minutes, should either the sign Aries or 
Pisces happen to ascend ; therefore the equation 
of time, from mean to solar time, should never 
be neglected. Now as this small period of time 
makes so great a difference in the ascendant, how 
very necessary it is for every student in astrology 
or astronomy to have a correct time -piece or 
watch ; there are many respectable students that 
cannot afford to give forty or fifty guineas for a 
watch. Feeling a desire to assist the student as 
much as possible, I considered the best plan to 
adopt was to consult some highly respectable 



92 ADDRESS 

watch and chronometer maker, of long established 
practice, to know if a watch could be manufac- 
tured for a reasonable sum, say between seven 
and ten guineas, that could be depended upon by 
astrological students ; for this purpose a friend 
accompanied me to Mr. Elisha of Piccadilly, the 
result of the inquiry was so satisfactory, and his 
answer was really so candid that I feel it my duty 
to give it verbatim. "In answer to your ques- 
tion respecting the most proper watch for 
scientific purposes, I have to remark that it must 
be a scape watch, viz. horizontal, lever, duplex 
or the pocket chronometer, the latter is used for 
maritime purposes, and has been found to be the 
only one to answer ; the reason is that such a 
watch, when manufactured sound and good, well 
timed in heat and cold, long, and short vibrations, 
positions, &c, after such attentions, and being 
brought to mean time, has been found to keep 
its rate so accurately that the Captain has not 
been out in his reckoning half a mile in a long 
voyage ; but as this watch when made sound and 
well timed costs a large sum, say forty guineas, 
in silver, or sixty guineas in gold, it would be? 



TO STUDENTS. 93 

perhaps, out of the question for persons in an 
ordinary sphere of life to expect to be possessed 
of such a machine. The duplex watch is open 
to some objections, not in principle, but from 
the delicacy of the escapement, it is necessary at 
all times to be careful when any repairs are to be 
done, or even cleaning only, and to be extremely 
careful into whose hands they are given, for I 
maintain, that unless this watch, as well as the 
chronometer, is repaired by a person who has 
professedly learnt the principle, good going 
cannot be obtained ; I therefore should recom- 
mend either an horizontal or lever watch, made 
sound and good, bearing this in mind always, 
that the good qualities of a watch does not 
depend upon fine finishing, polishing hollows, 
undercutting the shoulders, &c, until they are 
nearly off, thereby making the watch in realitv 
unsound. The grand points to be considered 
are, a first-rate movement, a sound and good 
escapement, careful finishing, and next, though 
not least, the selection of the steel wire, from 
which the pendulum or regulating spring is to be 
manufactured, for the inequalities in the wire 



94 ADDRESS 

generally are baneful indeed; I could dwell 
greatly upon this point, but find it scarcely neces- 
sary to enter upon more particulars, as every 
good workman is aware of the consequences if 
neglected. Therefore without hesitation I do 
affirm that the latter watches, when made by and 
obtained from respectable houses, will be found 
to answer sufficiently well for the astronomical 
and astrological purposes which have been 
described, and can be obtained for the price you 
have stated." But on a little closer inquiry 
Mr. Elisha informed us, that sound and good 
horizontal or lever watches in silver or gilt cases 
may be obtained from six to seven guineas, in 
double bottom cases, or to wind at the back, 
from seven to ten guineas, the price we men- 
tioned ; the reason I have given this statement at 
length is to afford the student every opportunity 
of obtaining correct figures of the heavens ; for 
if at the birth of an individual a wrong time is 
given, and asserted as the true time, from an 
indifferent time piece, or watch more particularly, 
an error in this particular is likely to prove very 
troublesome ; certainly the trutine of Hermes is 



TO STUDENTS. 95 

the most correct method I have seen tried to 
rectify the figure at birth ; it must be allowed 
that without a correct mean time astrologers 
cannot obtain the true solar time. I shall now 
proceed with a few remarks and new propositions, 
which if disregarded by gentlemen who are pro- 
ficients in this science, perhaps the young 
student may be induced to make a fair trial of 
some of those astronomical, and astrological su£- 
gestions, which I shall render easy for those who 
choose to adopt them. I beg leave to call your 
attention to the various distances of the superior 
planets from us in their periodic revolutions, when 
thev appear to be in opposition to the sun they 
are nearer to this earth by the distance of the 
whole diameter of this earth's orbit, (about one 
hundred and ninety millions of miles) than when 
the sun appears in the same sign, in conjunction 
with the said planets. So that all superior 
planets are nearer to this earth, when they appear 
to be in opposition to the sun, than when in con- 
junction with the sun ; again, when a planet is in 
that part of his orbit called his perhelion, he is 
nearer to the orbit of this earth than when on 



96 ADDRESS 

that part of his orbit called his aphelion, which 
difference in distance is caused by the eccentricity 
of the planets' and earth's orbits, produced by the 
variation between the centres of the orbit of the 
planets and the centre of the sun. We shall 
endeavour to avoid mentioning technical terms 
as much as possible, in order to make the 
subject better understood by the student ; com- 
mencing this part of our observations upon the 
orbit and planet of Mars, which is very eccentric, 
differing 10° 41' from the centre of the Sun, and 
more from the centre of the Earth's orbit, which 
the diagram will explain. When Mars happens 
to appear in opposition to the Sun from three 
degrees of the sign Virgo, Mars is at that period 
more than three times further distant from the 
Earth, than when in opposition to the Sun from 
the opposite sign three degrees of Pisces ; making 
of course a considerable difference in the influen- 
tial power of the planet Mars by his near approxi- 
mation to the orb of this Earth, Mars having more 
than nine times the influence in the sign Pisces 
than when in the sign Virgo, according to this 
calculation. The influence of Mars increases from 



TO STUDENTS. 97 

three degrees of the sign Virgo to three degrees of 
the sign Pisces, and decreases in power from three 
decrees of the sign Pisces to three decrees of the 
sign Virgo. The next superior planets we have 
to mention in order are those small planets, Vesta, 
Ceres, Juno and Pallas, their orbits are very 
eccentric, crossing each other in different places 
of their orbits, having great latitude. The 
planets Juno and Pallas move in orbits whose 
planes are nearer to the plane of the equator 
than the ecliptic. Some astrologers say they are 
of no consequence, as they are not easily seen ; 
some astronomers differ most essentially about the 
magnitude of these planets, the foreign astro- 
nomers say they are considerably larger, which I 
believe, and of greater magnitude than our 
English astronomers admit. The planets Ceres, 
Pallas, and Juno, are of a ruddy colour, like 
Mars, and have very dense atmospheres several 
hundred miles high ; the planet Vesta is near the 
colour of Venus of the sixth magnitude, a pure 
intense white. Ceres of a ruddy colour of the 
eighth magnitude, atmosphere six hundred and 
seventy miles high. Pallas is not so ruddy as 
I 



98 ADDRESS 

Ceres, about the eighth magnitude, his atmo- 
sphere is calculated at four hundred and sixty 
miles high from the surface of the planet. The 
planet Juno is free from that kind of nebulous 
atmosphere that surrounds Pallas and Ceres, of a 
reddish colour, and of the eighth magnitude. 
As the planet Herschel has been considered by 
many first-rate astrologers to be powerful in his 
signification and effects, he appears about the 
size of a star of the fifth magnitude, of a bluish 
white light, resembling the colour of Jupiter. 
Although out of place here, I only wish to 
mention, that I am very much of opinion that 
the small planets, Vesta, Juno, Ceres, and Pallas, 
ought to be noticed, especially as significators of 
accidents and hurts ; the longitude and latitude 
would be a useful addition to the longitude of 
the other planets in the Ephemeris, and well 
worth consideration ; although it is difficult to 
see the planet Herschel, yet he is potent in his 
effects, and why should not those small superior 
planets, at least, signify something. I hope the 
student will give them a fair trial, as I am indebted 
for the idea regarding the nature of these planets 



TO STUDENTS. 99 

to a very celebrated admirer of this science. It 
is supposed that Vesta, Juno, Ceres, and Pallas, 
were one and parts of the same planet, which by 
internal combustion or explosion separated these 
fragments from each other, and became distinct 
planets ; we shall leave these new planets to the 
experimental observations of students in this 
science, and proceed to the next in order, the 
ponderous planet Jupiter. When Jupiter appears 
in opposition to the Sun, from twelve degrees of 
the sign Aries, he is then at his nearest possible 
distance from this earth, being in his perigee, 
consequently of greater influence on this part of 
his orbit than when he is in the same aspect with 
the sun in the opposite sign Libra in his apogee, 
or greatest distance from the centre of this earth, 
and of less influence, according to the tenor of 
this speculation. The planet Jupiter decreases 
in this power or influence from twelve degrees of 
the sign Aries, and increases from twelve degrees 
of the sign Libra to twelve degrees of the sign 
Aries. The planet Saturn is nearest to this 
earth when in opposition to the Sun in the begin- 
ning of the sign Cancer, and if in like aspect 



100 ADDRESS 

from the beginning of the opposite sign Capri- 
corn, he is then in his apogee or greatest distance 
from the Earth's centre in that aspect, Saturn 
increases in influence from the beginning of 
Capricorn to the beginning of Cancer, and 
decreases from that point to the beginning of the 
sign Capricorn. The planet Herschel is nearest 
to the centre of this Earth when in opposition to 
the Sun from eighteen degrees of the sign Virgo, 
but when appearing to make the same aspect 
from the opposite sign eighteen degrees of Pisces, 
he is then in his apogee, or greatest distance 
from the centre of this earth. 

The following table will give an idea of the 
relative proportional distances of these configura- 
tions, shewing the variation of these planets being 
in apogee or perigee. I am more particularly 
induced to mention this idea as some gentlemen 
do not allow the existence of planetary dignities, 
perhaps they may be more inclined to experiment 
on this proposition.

102 ADDRESS 

This Table shews the proportional distance 
between perigee and apogee ; Mercury, for 
instance, when in that part of his orbit nearest 
the Earth's orbit, and aspected as described, 
is only two thirds of his distance from the Earth's 
centre, than when in his apogee, aspected in like 
manner ; the distance of Venus when in perigee 
is five-sixths of her apogeean distance from the 
Earth's centre. Mars when in his perigee, and 
aspected as described in the Table, is only three- 
tenth part of the distance from us in that position 
than when in his apogee; and so of the other 
planets ; by which it appears that the greatest 
and least distances of the planets from the Earth's 
centre are more potently exhibited when inferior 
planets appear retrograde, and in conjunction 
with the sun, and when superior planets appear 
retrograde and in opposition to the sun. The 
other aspects of the planets render the propor- 
tional difference between the apogee and perigee 
less perceptible than the positions I have de- 
scribed in the table ; because in those positions 
the earth is in heliocentric conjunction with the 
said planets, but when separating from or 



TO STUDENTS. 103 

approaching to that heliocentric conjunction, the 
proportion of the diameter of the Earth's orbit 
must be taken into account. I have been 
induced to mention this idea, with those that 
follow, as some individuals have thought proper 
to differ in opinion from the ancient rules re- 
specting the parts of the Zodiac in which the 
planets exert their greatest influence. The 
tables which I have taken the trouble to calculate 
will be a means of emitting some light on this 
subject, namely, the geocentric places of the nodes 
of the planets, if the ascending and descending 
nodes of the moon, which are continually changing 
by retrograde motion, should signify the effects 
described by some authors, I can see no reason 
why that the nodes of the ponderous planets 
Jupiter, Saturn, or Herschel, should not like- 
wise have effect, aye, and those too of Mars, 
Venus, and Mercury, will furnish some addi- 
tional signification and argument for the lovers 
of astrology and for the searchers into the truth 
of this doctrine ; in order to expound some acci- 
dental affairs that sometimes cannot be accounted 



104 ADDRESS 

for in the usual way. Venus, for instance, is 
generally allowed to be well placed in the sign 
Libra if unafflicted, but if the descending node 
of Mars was passing over the same degree of 
longitude which Venus is in Libra, (here a ma- 
terial alteration will take place, according to the 
nature of the nodes) I am conscious of one 
instance thereof, which confirms my opinion 
that the student will be much pleased with 
the consideration of the geocentric nodes of 
each planet, and their longitudinal positions, 
which may happen at the birth of an individual 
or in a question of consequence, including the 
planets Vesta, Juno, Ceres, and Pallas, being 
sixteen significators, which have not been taken 
into account by astrologers. These new propo- 
sitions may appear strange to some individuals, 
but in order to give the young student a reason 
why I have proposed them, I answer, because they 
are founded on the same observations as every 
significator used in astrology, that is to say, on 
true astronomical principles ; and on that ac- 
count entitled to the investigation of those per- 
sons who consider scientific research worthy of 



TO STUDENTS. 105 

their attention and experimental observation. I 
feel confident that some of the industrious and 
learned students and professors that are known to 
patronize and study this science, will, by their 
superior abilities, give these astronomical and 
astrological propositions a fair and impartial trial. 
The young student must be aware from what has 
been already stated, that both the superior and 
inferior planets are nearer to this earth when they 
appear retrograde or stationary, than when the 
planets appear direct in motion, according to the 
succession of signs from west by south to east ; 
a planet's effects ought to appear more evident or 
potently, when retrograding or stationary, accord- 
ing to the principles of matter approximating 
closer to each other in that position, than when 
situated at a greater distance. I do not wish by 
suggestions of this nature to make the science 

CO 

of astrology appear more difficult to the compre- 
hension, but in order, if possible, to elucidate 
some things which have appeared in certain 
instances to act at variance to the rules generally 
practised. It may be argued by some that astro- 
logers did verv well without a knowledge of the 



106 ADDRESS 

planet Herschel, but every scientific man in 
astrology is well aware how much better astrolo- 
gers can do by making use of his signification. 
I shall here, in this place, just mention, that the 
planet Herschel personally signifies men of 
science, who either by curious inventions, or 
studies and discoveries of a description contrary 
to the belief, or of that class of researches far 
above the comprehension of the generality of 
individuals. 

I have noticed that when Saturn transited the 
place of the radical Herschel in the nativity of 
a few of my friends, that some eccentric friend 
of theirs, (who was fond of astrological, physi- 
cal, or divine studies, and pursuits contrary to 
the general opinion of worldly-minded persons) 
either died, or had a severe illness or trouble. 
From the position of Herschel in the radical 
figure, he always denotes the most extraordinary 
persons, fond of erudite and ancient learning, 
such as alchy mists, or very deeply experimental 
chemists, and persons altogether extraordinary. 
Mr. Varley, in his Zodiacal Physiognomy, has 
given an excellent account of Herschel, and I 



TO STUDENTS. 107 

shall take this oppormnity to inform every stu- 
dent who is fond of those sciences, that he should 
have a copy of that useful work as a reference, 
which gives the signs ascending, for every day 
and hour throughout the year, with a variety of 
very scientific and useful information, profitable 
for the phrenological, physiognomical, and astro- 
logical student. I have reason to believe that, 
according to the doctrine of Ptolemy, Herschel 
is not so malevolent a planet as some persons 
represent, if we are to judge from his colour, 
he is much like the planet Jupiter in that respect ; 
however eccentric I may appear in my opinion, 
Herschel is only a torment and plague to fools 
and ignorant persons, and is like the planet 
Jupiter to scientific men ; of course he acts less 
powerfully, being so much smaller than Jupiter, 
and more distant. Ignorant and illiterate per- 
sons always feel very uncomfortable in the com- 
pany of learned and scientific men, therefore 
Herschel only annoys that description of persons 
who take no delight in curious pursuits, or 
scientific studies. Experience and observation 
will contribute more towards discovering the 



108 ADDRESS 

truth, when sought for by many persons, than 
any single individual can accomplish, therefore 
I do not presume upon my own limited experience 
of those matters ; upon the same principle I 
advise the student, if he feels inclined to discover 
the signiflcators of vicious tricks, or sudden acci- 
dents of the lesser order, let him observe the 
longitude, latitude, and declination of Juno, and 
particularly Ceres and Pallas, whose periods of 
revolution do not differ much from each other. 
As to the nature of the small lucid planet Vesta, 
I think it will be found to represent things of a I 
pure religious and unadulterated nature, that I 
which pure intense white signifies. 1 speak I 
allegorically astrological in this matter, as I am J 
well aware that experience and practice, as 
alluded to before, will expound all these pro- 
positions, however strange they may appear 
in some persons ideas ; yet I hope there are 
those whose abilities far exceed my humble en- 
deavours, will not condemn before they give 
these things a fair trial, and then impartially 
declare as much with such other useful informa- 



TO STUDENTS. 109 

tion, as will direct the worthy student in those 
studies to greater perfection than is known at 
present. 

I have had the honour to peruse part of a 
MS. work intended to he published, which un- 
folds the ancient mysteries of mythology, astro- 
logy, and other sciences, proving that the fables 
of ancient mythology were written with an alle- 
gorical meaning and signification. The beauty 
and scientific simplicity of language, with which 
the celebrated and talented author of Zodiacal 
Physiognomy conveys al] his explanations to the 
minds of the readers, is in a pleasing and instruc- 
tive manner. In the MS. the illustration of the 
figurative and allegorical stories recorded in 
ancient mythology, will be a very valuable ac- 
quisition to all persons, especially to students 
in these sciences. 

The tables of the longitude of the planets' 
ascending and descending nodes, are calculated 
for every five degrees of the Sun's motion through 
the different signs of the Zodiac; by a little 
attention to the simple manner in which it is 
arranged, the student will be enabled very easily 

K 



110 ADDRESS 

to find the proportional motion of the nodes for 
any degree or minute of the solar place, between 
these periods. We consider an example quite 
unnecessary : the author would have calculated 
them for every degree, but that would increase the 
size of the tables more than the limits of this 
work will allow. If experience and experiments 
should establish the use of these propositions, 
the author, at a future period, may be induced 
to pay more attention to the accommodation 
of students, and furnish them with more volu- 
minous tables on these subjects. The places 
of the nodes will not differ much for 30 years 
past, or for 30 years to come, from these tables, 
if 1 5 minutes are added to 30 years to come, 
and subtracted from 30 years past, the places 
of the superior nodes will be found nearly correct 
and in that proportion. The longitude of the 
planet Herschel will also be useful to the stu- 
dent in order to find his place in the nativity of 
any person that has been born during the 
eighteenth century, which has been much wanted 
by astrologers. The student will be enabled to 
find out the signification of Herschel by this 



TO STUDENTS. 1 1 1 

means, if he notices the position and directions 
of this planet, in the nativities of great or emi- 
nent men born during that period, and since that 
period up to the present time.

DISCOURSE 

ON 

THE HARMONY 

OP 

ASTROLOGY, PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 



Locke in his Epistle, speaking of new doc- 
trines, says, " Truth scarce ever carried it by 
vote any where at its first appearance ; new opi- 
nions are always suspected and usually opposed, 
without any other reason, but because they are 
not already common. But truth, like gold, is not 
the less so, for being newly brought out of the 
mine. 'Tis trial and examination must give it 
price, and not antique fashion ; and though it be 
not yet current by the public stamp, yet it may 
for all that be as old as nature, and is certainly 
not the less genuine." This appears applicable 
to the present work, the subject of which it treats 
is as old as nature; how particular (says Lavater) 
we ought to be, to unveil our own hearts and 



124 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

our own temperaments, before we can judge of 
others, as we can only know others in proportion 
to the knowledge we possess of ourselves. 
There are many things in this life which 
conduce to afford us happiness, but there is 
nothing more essential thereto than a knowledge 
of human nature. Some persons contend that 
it is impossible to study the various temperaments 
and dispositions of individuals, and also doubt 
the possibility of laying down correct rules to 
guide the judgments of those who feel disposed 
to make such inquiries ; whilst others are of the 
opposite opinion, and prove that it is possible by 
study, theory, practice, and experience to guide 
the inquiring student (having a sound mind) to 
obtain such a knowledge of animals and human 
beings, as will appear truly astonishing to 
those who are unacquainted with such rules. 
But indolence, prejudice, and ignorance will 
continually present obstacles in the way of 
science, which can only be removed by industry, 
ability, and perseverance. Persons are often 
surprised at the ignorance of their friends or 
acquaintance, who are not acquainted with the 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 125 

nature of the various animals and their natural 
propensities ; it is certain that some animals of 
the same species differ in a greater or less degree 
from each other. If a knowledge of the brute 
creation is essential for man to be acquainted 
with, and their various instincts and propensities, 
their organic uses and abuses, no person will, 
for a moment, doubt the propriety of our study- 
ing the nature, constitution, disposition, and 
qualities of mankind, and, particularly, of those 
persons with whom we hold conversation or have 
transactions in business, with the nature and 
disposition of those on whom, perhaps, our 
future happiness or misery may depend. 

The sweet intellectual pleasures that are to be 
enjoyed in friendly society, and our daily and 
hourly transactions awaken us to the importance 
of such knowledge. All persons are aware of 
the difference that exists in the dispositions, 
manners and habits of their friends or acquaint- 
ances ; there are times we perceive that par- 
ticular persons resemble other individuals in 
appearance and also in habits to a certain extent, 
and we often judge of persons by the contour of the 
l 2

head, the form of body, or figure, the gait, and 
a variety of peculiarities that are often remark- 
able ; if this is a fact well known to the unlearned, 
how often must the man of penetration and 
learning be assured of its existence. Phrenolo- 
gists consider man by himself, and also compare 
him with other animals. When the lower animals 
manifest the same feelings and propensities as 
those displayed by man, the faculties which 
produce them are said to be common to both ; 
ancient philosophers have compared the nature of 
animals to that of man, and the nature of men 
to certain animals and birds. Phrenologists, 
(Drs. Gall and Spurzheim,) have discovered that 
the general organic arrangement of the brain in 
animals of the brute creation, and birds, are found 
to shew the various propensities natural to them, 
and correspond to a certain extent with the cere- 
bral developement in mankind. If there was no 
other defence in vindication of the science of 
phrenology than that of men possessing the 
learning and abilities of Drs. Gall and Spurzheim, 
who would not risk their reputation for the 
gratification of an evil propensity by leading 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 127 

mankind into error ; can any reasonable man 
suppose that Dr. Combe would have wasted his 
time and abilities in writing a splendid and 
compendious treatise on the discoveries of Drs. 
Gall and Spurzheim, and his own, on the subject 
of phrenology ? Does it appear reasonable that 
eminent physicians and gentlemen, whose abilities 
we cannot doubt, would also expend their time 
and abilities, as their learned predecessors did, to 
study a science unworthy of their attention ? 
The rules of the science are open to every man 
who has abilities to satisfy himself as to its utility 
and truth, by consulting the works of Drs. Gall 
and Spurzheim, and the latest edition of Dr. 
Combe's treatise on phrenology, and after he 
becomes acquainted with the theory of the science, 
he need only put it in practice to be perfectly 
convinced in favour of its doctrine. It has 
always been the desire of both ancient and modern 
philosophers to promote the happiness of man- 
kind on a solid foundation. I am persuaded that 
nothing will tend more decidedly to achieve this 
object than a certain knowledge of the ancient 
sciences of astrology, astronomy, phrenology

and physiognomy united in the same individual ; 
and they, as they are the offspring of the same 
parent, bear testimony to the resemblance of 
each other in different bodies, in order to promote 
the same end, viz., a knowledge of divine 

AND HUMAN NATURE. 

Astrology is a science founded on astronomy 
and the motions, aspects and positions of the 
heavenly bodies, together with the ancient signi- 
fication of the constellations, and eminent fixed 
stars, according to their situation in or on the 
ecliptic ; as observed during centuries of experi- 
ments, at the birth of an individual ; at the time 
of asking a question for the result of any parti- 
cular event ; for the state of the sick : or, to 
discover the strength of a kingdom or nation, 
from a chart of the heavens erected for the 
exact moment that the sun enters the equinoctial 
or tropical signs. The first is termed natal 
astrology, the second horary astrology, the third 
physical astrology, and the last state astrology. 

Natal astrology teaches us by certain mathe- 
matical rules to judge of the form and temperament 
of the individual ; the blemishes, hurts, and 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 129 

mental and bodily diseases ; the quality of the 
intellectual faculties and animal propensities ; the 
probability of riches or poverty ; the eminence 
and dignity to which the native may be elevated; 
the probability of friends and enemies, their 
nature and description ; of marriage ; offspring ; 
strength of constitution ; natural disposition ; 
and many of the most remarkable periods of life, 
either advantageous or disadvantageous, &c. &c, 
and in various instances the length of life has 
been most correctly calculated by those who are 
proficients therein. 

Phrenology is a science founded on the 
formation and functions of the brain. In certain 
compartments on the surface of the brain, the 
organs of the different faculties, sentiments, and 
propensities are developed, which the external 
surface of the head discovers ; and in proportion 
to the number and strength of the different 
organs, so does the phrenologist give his opinion, 
on the intellectual faculties, moral sentiments, and 
animal propensities. It is extremely useful to 
ascertain the exact abilities, inclinations, and dis- 
positions of individuals ; the propriety of appoint-

130 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

ing men to certain situations and studies, in 
which they are most likely to distinguish them- 
selves to their own advancement, and for the 
general good. It harmonises with astrology, in 
that portion which treats of the intellectual, 
moral, and animal qualities, and the probability 
of arriving at eminence in the world, acquisitive- 
ness or riches, and in several other points which 
experience and practice alone can decide. 

Physiognomy is a science which teaches us to 
form ideas of the dispositions and natural pro- 
pensities of mankind, on beholding the counte- 
nance, and judging from the lines, curves, profiles 
and proportion of the various features of the face, 
the form of each feature taken separately and 
collectively, to which they often add the profile of 
the whole head and body. Physiognomists also 
assist their judgment in a variety of ways, by 
observing the manners of individuals on various 
occasions, their gait, and from the general per- 
sonal appearance. It is said that " the counte- 
nance is the index of the mind, which can be read 
by observation, study and experience ;" every 
person is a physiognomist to a certain extent. 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 131 

There have been many objections raised against 
these sciences, generally by persons who are 
totally ignorant of the rules, theory and practice 
of the science they universally condemn ; persons 
who have any idea of the manner in which we are 
generally educated, will not feel surprised that 
early prejudice is usually a substitute for mathe- 
matical investigation, particularly if the subject 
should be a little beyond the common run of 
things, it is denounced immediately as visionary 
or impious. Paley says in his Moral Philosophy 
that, " to send an uneducated child into the 
world is injurious to the rest of mankind ; it is 
little better than to turn out a mad dog or a wild 
beast into the streets. The health and virtue of 
a child's future life is a consideration superior to 
all others." If Paley is right, the parents or 
teachers of young persons ought to be well read 
in the ancient science of astrology, and the 
useful and important science of phrenology, by 
this means the parents or teachers will be 
enabled to perceive in what business or science 
the abilities of the child will be found most useful. 
The astrologian is aware that if the planet 



132 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

•Mercury is afflicted, impedited, and combust, at 
the birth of an individual, that the intellectual 
faculties of that individual will be unfit for study, 
but may be fit for business where great abilities 
are not requisite ; the phrenologist will perceive 
the deficiency of those organs necessary for study, 
and the physiognomist will discover a vacancy in 
countenance in proportion to the inability ; a 
proficient in each science would thus be capable 
of giving the same judgment, and thus these 
sciences act in union or harmony with each 
other. It must appear as cruelty to the individual, 
and prove injurious to the general welfare, by 
endeavouring to educate men for situations or 
professions which from their natural organization 
they are incapable to fill. An astrologian would 
consider it vanity to expect a man could rise to 
great honour in the world whose nativity is 
unfortunate and obscure ; it is equally vain to 
expect benevolence to exist in a man because he 
has wealth, when the organ of benevolence is 
deficient. The ancients displayed great judg- 
ment in the appointment of their public officers. 
The mischief that results to society at large by a 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 133 

neglect of those sciences in this respect is exten- 
sive, indeed we ought not to be surprised at the 
many examples both in ancient and modern times, 
of the world rejecting with the most intolerable 
tyranny and ridicule, that which is intended for 
their advantage. It is the priests of the Esta- 
blished Churches, by various acts contrary to 
their profession, who have brought religion into 
disrepute. 

Persons who are appointed to public stations 
should certainly undergo a scientific examination, 
as in ancient times, when the honour of the country, 
and public fidelity were considered superior to 
private motives. Can we expect a man, whose 
animal propensities predominate, or the man who 
has the organ of conscientiousness small, acquisi- 
tiveness large, and benevolence deficient, to be 
a fit and proper person to fill an office in the 
Church, or even any office of trust. We 
ought not to expect impossibilities when we hear 
of a man placed in such a situation, unsuitable 
to his natural propensities or disposition to fill, 
and should rather pity than censure him, espe- 
cially when we consider what he must have en- 
M 



134 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

dured under this organisation, being contrary to 
the quality of the office he had to sustain ; the 
person that appoints the individual in this case, 
ought to be made the responsible person, for if 
the said individual had been placed in a situation 
which the science of Astrology, Phrenology, and 
Physiognomy, would dictate, there is every pro- 
bability that he would fill that situation with 
credit to himself, and advantage to his employers. 
Tiberius Csesar was well skilled in Astronomy 
and Astrology, (he was taught by Tharasyllus, 
during his recess or exile at Rhodes) he was 
correct in his predictions of future events ; on 
inspection of Gabiris nativity (when he was a 
youth,) Tiberius foretold that he should one day 
be an Emperor. He had always by him the ge- 
nitures of all his nobility, and according as he 
found his own, or the kingdom 9 s horoscope to be 
affected, or aspected, or beheld by theirs, so he 
let them remain or cut them off accordingly. 
Hippocrates and Galen wrote on the judgment 
of diseases and cures, by the rules of Astrology. 
Josephus relates of Berosus the Chaldean, that 
he left it recorded that among the Chaldeans, he 






PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 135 

observed Astronomical Ephemerides for four 
hundred and eighty years, inscribed on baked 
bricks and tiles ; he also signalised himself by his 
astrological predictions. The Athenians rewarded 
him for his learning, with a statue in the gym- 
nasium at Athens. Epigenes Byzantinus, being 
an author of credit, has recorded that amongst 
the Babylonians, there were found Ephemerides 
containing observations of the stars for the space 
of seven hundred and eighty years, inscribed on 
tablets of brick and tiles ; the same author wrote 
with correctness on comets. The Roman Empe- 
ror Adrianus, was well skilled in Astronomy, 
and particularly in judicial Astrology, he used to 
erect an astrological chart of the heavens in the 
calends of January, for the purpose of knowing 
what should happen to him during the whole 
year. Thales, one of the seven wise men of 
Greece, flourished nearly 600 years before the 
Christian Era, and, like other philosophers, he 
travelled in quest of wisdom ; by the priests of 
Memphis he was taught geometry, astronomy, 
astrology, and philosophy, he nearly measured 
the vast height and extent of a pyramid, by 



136 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

its shadow, he was the first that calculated an 
eclipse of the Sun with accuracy, he discovered 
the solstices and equinoxes, he divided the hea- 
vens into 5 zones, and recommended by the Egyp- 
tian philosophy, the division of the year into 365 
days, which is a proof of the ancient learning in 
astronomy and astrology. Pythagoras flou- 
rished more than 500 years before the Christian 
era, he made the occult sciences his private 
study. In Egypt and Chaldea, he gained the 
confidence of the priests, and learned from them 
the symbolic characters and mystic learning of 
the ancients. His skill in music, medicine, 
mathematics, and natural philosophy, gained 
him friends and admirers. He considered pro- 
portionate numbers the principles of every thing, 
and perceived in the universe regularity, corres- 
pondence, beauty, proportion, and harmony, 
intentionally produced by the Creator ; it is wor- 
thy of remark that the most accurate calculations 
and observations of modern Astronomers, proves 
that his system of the universe was perfectly 
correct, viz., the Sun as the centre, and all the 
planets moving in elliptical orbits round it ; but 






PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 137 

this idea was considered as chimerical and im- 
probable by persons in those days ; yet there 
are many persons who attempt to deny that 
the ancients were acquainted with the periods 
and motions of the heavenly bodies, however, 
it is quite certain the present system was known 
two thousand three hundred years ago. Zoro- 
aster, king of Bactria, was a great philosopher 
and astronomer, he lived 2460 years before the 
Christian era ; another of that name, and the 
restorer of the religion of the Magii, is fixed at 
590 years before the Christian era; both were 
astrologers. Thales, Pythagoras, Socrates, and 
all the philosophers derived their information and 
knowledge, by their own abilities and perseverance, 
and from the instructions of the priests who pre- 
sided in the temples of learning in ancient days. 
It appears that no persons were admitted to study 
in those temples or colleges, except those who 
•proved themselves worthy and possessed capacity 
to appreciate and understand the mysteries and 
learning of the ancients. We are quite at a loss 
in forming an idea of the extent of their learning, 
so many valuable libraries being destroyed by

various accidents and destructive conquerors ; 
the ancients would rather make any sacrifice than 
permit their learning to fall into the hands of the 
vulgar, therefore we cannot say whether they 
understood Phrenology or not, neither can we 
assert that they were ignorant thereof ; the an- 
cients being such close observers of nature, we 
ought rather to suppose that they were well ac- 
quainted with both Phrenology and Physiognomy, 
and many other sciences of which we have no idea. 
Pythagoras taught that the most ample and 
perfect gratification was to be found in the en- 
joyment of moral and intellectual pleasures, and 
in order to suit the mind for such qualities, and 
to render virtue possible in practice as well as in 
theory, recommended that the tender years of his 
disciples should be employed in continual labour, 
in study, in exercise, and in repose, for unless 
young persons are continually employed in body 
and mind, indolence with all its baneful influence, 
will destroy the perfection of both body and 
mind. Studies in either moral and intellectual 
pursuits, if continued for too long a period will 
produce a diseased body and a disordered mind ; 






PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 139 

scarcely any individual is organised in the same 
manner exactly as another, which in some man- 
ner accounts for the difference of dispositions ; in 
some men the intellectual faculties, in others the 
moral sentiments, and in most men the animal 
propensities are strongly developed ; some are 
strong and healthy, and others are weak and 
sickly in their constitutions, it is useful and ne- 
cessary for the student to ascertain the extent of 
his abilities. It appears from the study of Phre- 
nology, that exercise of both body and mind is 
absolutely necessary to preserve the health of both, 
if we neglect to cultivate bodily activity and 
strength, we become unfit for the necessary oc- 
cupations of life, if we neglect our intellectual 
and moral faculties, we shall become unfit for 
society, and burthensome to ourselves. " The 
brain, (says Combe) is the fountain of nervous 
energy to the whole body, many persons are 
habitual invalids, without actually labouring under 
any ordinary or recognised disease, solely from 
defective or irregular exercise of the nervous 
system. The best mode of increasing the strength 
and energy of any organ and function is to exer- 



140 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

cise them regularly and judiciously, according to 
the laws of their constitution ; punishment 
is the inevitable consequence of disobeying the 
organic laws of our constitution, therefore the 
more intimately a man becomes acquainted with 
his own organisation, the nearer will he be able 
to judge of others, and the happier and more 
contented he is likely to be himself." I verily 
believe that there is nothing new under the sun, 
and that the nature of mankind was cultivated by 
the ancients to far greater perfection than many are 
likely to credit at present, they not only culti- 
vated the mind, but also paid particular attention 
to the health and strength of the body, in pro- 
portion as the animal health, strength, and spi- 
rits decline, so does the functions of the mind 
become enfeebled and unfit for the exercise of 
those abilities which an individual is known to 
possess in a sound state of health. " What ob- 
structions are to be found (says Lavater) in the 
way of improvement, from the nature of our 
climates, in the forms of our government and 
education, in the polish and insincerity of our 
manners, the unsubstantial aliments, the closeness 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 141 

and heat of our apartments, the general use of 
pernicious liquors, all concur alas to extinguish 
the poor remains of vigour transmitted to us 
from our fathers.'' Locke in his thoughts on 
education, says, u A sound mind in a sound body, 
is a short but full description of a happy state 
in this world, he that wants either of these, will 
be little the better of any thing else.'* 

A smatterer in physiognomy, whose mind is 
feeble and his heart corrupted, is in the opinion 
of Lavater the most contemptible of beings ; it 
is certain that the student who is anxious to 
learn physiognomy, must in the first place cast 
off all prejudice, his eye must not be evil, his 
health and mind must not be impaired, he must 
know the effects of a sympathetic feeling, and 
the language of the eyes and countenance ; con- 
versant with the different temperaments of various 
classes of individuals, he must associate in all 
conditions of society, he ought not to limit his 
acquaintance to one circle, he should associate 
with artists and those having a knowledge of 
man, perfection in physiognomy is not to be at- 
tained without long experience and experiments, 



142 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

combined with the assistance of phrenology and 
astrology. There have been many arguments urged 
against the physiognomical opinions of different 
individuals. Particularly because Zopyrus the 
physiognomist said that Socrates was naturally 
of a licentious disposition, and that his heart 
was the most depraved, immodest, and corrupt, 
that ever was in the human breast, — this opinion 
nearly cost the physiognomist his life ; but 
Socrates declared that his assertions were tiue, 
and that he had corrected and curbed all his 
vicious propensities by means of reason. The 
opinion of Zopyrus does not condemn the science 
of physiognomy, but shews that he was too 
hasty in giving his judgment, and that if Zopyrus 
were as well acquainted with phrenology or with 
astrology as he was with physiognomy, that 
he would not have erred in his opinion of that 
great Philosopher; it is also an argument in favour 
of the utility of combining the knowledge of 
each ; there are some phrenologists that cultivate 
a knowledge of physiognomy, and find a very 
satisfactory result. The countenance generally 
shews the emotions of the mind ; it is not easy, says 



_ 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 143 

a physiognomist, to screen dissimulation from the 
observer, we know the individual cannot change his 
bony outline, or the colour of his hair and eve- 
brows; as a man can only do what he is capable 
of, because capacity is limited to a point at which 
it ceases, the physiognomist must know that the 
source of a great deal of disappointment proceeds 
from our expecting more than persons are able to 
grant, or capable to fulfil. Can honesty be ex- 
pected from a knave, or roguish actions to belong 
to an honest man ? It is certain that some men 
lose by being seen too near, and the same men 
gain by a more intimate knowledge of them, there 
is no man so bad but that he may possess some 
good qualities ; an imperfect knowledge of man is 
the foundation of intolerance. Men of bad 
habits themselves, or those who have been often 
deceived bv persons, are usually apt to think evil 
of others, on the other hand good men consider 
mankind generally better than they really are ; 
as a general rule this is most valuable, " judge of 
the tree by the fruit," pear trees do not produce 
apples, neither does the apple tree produce 
plums, every thing in nature produces and acts

according to its quality, kind, and disposition. 
Run over the whole kingdom of nature with a 
rapid eye (says Voltaire), or confine yourself to a 
comparison of a few of her productions, no 
matter which, and you will find in all a confir- 
mation of this truth, That there is a constant 
harmony between internal powers and external 
sig?is. 

Many persons have expressed surprise that the 
early years of Socrates should have been spent in 
drunkennese and disorderly propensities until he 
arrived at 24 years of age. It is very easily 
accounted for in astrology, thedegreess of the sign 
on his ascendant being run up to another sign, the 
planets in his nativity changing their signs from the 
earthy, and watery trigons to the aerial, and fiery, 
fixed, and cardinal, which is frequently conspicuous 
in nativities, where the significators and aspects 
are powerful : changing the course of life from 
strong evil propensities to powerful and good 
qualities, seeing that the concourse of good 
primary and secondary directions, in his nativity 
effected a different organization in the phreno- 
logical point of view, by a powerful developement 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 145 

of the intellectual and moral faculties. Phre- 
nologists have found the organs that at one 
period are obscure, in time become strongly de- 
veloped, this proves the truth of the quotation, 
" There is a constant/' &c. Phrenologists have 
often observed a great alteration in several organs 
between 2 3 and 30 years of age. This is an 
age at which the phrenologist will be most certain 
in his opinion on this subject, and of course 
when a change takes place in the developement 
of the faculties and propensities, we are to expect 
an alteration in the disposition, the countenances 
of men undergo great changes and alterations, 
and in fact we all change with our years, the 
ideas of the child are different from the young 
man, and the young man differs from the middle 
aged, and from the old man ; the same individual 
undergoes as many changes as the planets that 
rule those ages are different in quality, as the 
D rules the 1st age, g 2nd, $ 3rd, © 4th, $ 5th, 
% 6th, h and y 7th. In harmony with the 
changes of man, the planets are continually chang- 
ing their places in the ecliptic, all moving on in the 
same order, continually changing every circum-

tance and day different from every other. Physio- 
gnomy is one of the studies which an astrologer is 
obliged to be acquainted with, in order to distinguish 
the sort of person signified by the various planets, 
not only are different classes of persons signified 
by the same planet, caused by the aspects the 
planet receives, but also from the nature of the 
different signs of the zodiac in which the planet 
is situated, therefore phrenology is found to 
harmonise with astrology. — Astrological and 
zodiacal physiognomy has long been observed 
and often used to assist in the rectification of a 
nativity, when the time of birth is not exactly 
known. So precisely is the difference percep- 
tible, that an astrologer of experience can discover 
nearly the degree or part of the sign which as- 
cended at the birth of the individual, as judged 
from the peculiarity of the countenance and 
personal appearance of the individual. The 
erudite author of the Zodiacal Physiognomy 
in one part of that valuable work says, " Those 
persons who are born under the signs of the 
watery and earthy trigons, often bear some re- 
semblance to foreigners ; whilst those born under 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 147 

the signs of the fiery triplicity (which gives fair 
persons) are particularly characteristic of the 
English nation, which is under the sign Aries. '' 
Not only does particular individuals partake of 
the physiognomy of the signs and planets that 
ascend or preside at birth, but nations are ruled 
and signified by the different signs of the zodiac ; 
as, England is signified by the sign Aries, 
Ireland by Taurus, and cities are also signified 
by the signs ; Rome under the regal sign Leo, and 
London by Gemini, particularly from the 10th 
to the 24th degree ; now if evil planets afflict 
these signs, the kingdoms, or cities, and nations 
are known to suffer, which is particularly observed 
in what is called state astrology. Mr. Varley 
has given several plates and figures in his work 
to describe the peculiarities that belong to each 
trigon. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, the fiery 
trigon; Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn the earthy; 
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, the aerial trigon ; 
Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces the watery trigon. 
li By far the less numerous portion of society is 
born under the fiery and aerial signs ; the world in 
its dispositions and habits, are governed chiefly by 



148 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

the earthy and melancholic saturnine, and the 
watery phlegmatic signs ; while the superior 
princes and nobles of the world, and the sublime 
and poetical writers, painters, and composers, 
emanate from the fiery and regal trigon ; and 
under the humane and courteous aerial signs, 
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, are mostly pro- 
duced the professors and instructors of music, 
the fine arts, and the ceremonies and embellish- 
ments of life and civilization.' ' 

We have shewn that there is an inseparable 
harmony between the science of phrenology and 
physiognomy ; a thousand cases may be cited ; 
such as that of Socrates and Zopyrus, which proves, 
that to give a judgment in one or the other, 
both must be consulted, which is a rule observed 
by a few phrenologists that are very correct in 
their opinions on the dispositions of individuals ; 
an harmony no less striking between the astrolo- 
gical judgment of the form and dispositions of 
the planetary significations, of the celestial signs 
of the zodiac, of phrenology and of physiognomy, 
in fact physiognomy and phrenology cannot be 
separated. Neither can the astrological signifi- 



I 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 149 
cators of persons differ from the meaning of 
phrenological and physiognomical rules, both 
thereof treating of individuals ; the one assists the 
other, and by the unity of each renders the mind 
more competent to judge with accuracy, causing 
us to use mathematical demonstration, beyond 
which there can exist no doubt. This subject is 
so varied, and the field of comparison so wide, 
that it is with difficulty that I can confine myself 
within the prescribed limits ; however, I cannot 
refrain from suggesting an idea that occurred to 
me one day, on observing the cast of a head facing 
the east, and divided into various compartments 
used for phrenological purposes. There appears 
a great analogy between the compartments or 
organs as arranged in position by phrenologists, 
and those of the heavens as divided by astrolo- 
gers ; they divide the diurnal arc of the heavens 
which is above the earth, from the eastern to the 
western horizon, into six divisions or compart- 
ments, and the nocturnal arc from the western 
horizon under the earth to the eastern horizon, 
also into six divisions or compartments, called in 
astrol ogv houses. These divisions of the equator 

N 2 



150 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

passing through the poles of the world, contain 
30 degrees, each making 12 houses, six houses 
above the horizon and six houses under the hori- 
zon ; just by the same reason as phrenologists 
call the compartments of the head the place or 
locality of the organs, so are those houses the 
place of locality for the signs and planetary bo- 
dies therein, just as they happen to be situated. 
There are four principal houses and cardinal 
points called angles ; the cusp of the first house 
or ascendant, the east point or angle ; the tenth 
house, zenith, or south angle ; the seventh house, 
or western horizon or angle; the fourth house or 
nadir and north angle of the figure. Astrolo- 
gers, according to Ptolemy, consider the eastern 
hemisphere to be the superior portion of the 
heavens, being far more powerful, famous, and 
active than the western ; because in the eastern 
grand division the planets and stars are always 
ascending when in this part of the heavens, and 
introducing themselves into public notice, which 
division is termed oriental, and the western divi- 
sion is called occidental. In order to put this 
idea to the test we perceive, according to the 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY, 151 

rules of phrenology, that the division of the brain, 
situated from the orifice of the ear forward to- 
wards the east, is the most superior part of the 
brain, containing the intellectual and moral facul- 
ties, and the posterior part of the brain, from the 
orifice of the ear towards the west angle, to con- 
tain the organs of the animal propensities and 
inferior region of the brain ; which, in the first 
instance was an encouragement to proceed : we 
are led to compare that, as the development of 
organs in the front part of the head conduce to 
the more illustrious advancement in this world, 
so do planets in this part of the heavens, accord- 
ing to astrological doctrine, promote the same 
object. Again, phrenologists divide the brain 
into three general spheres of faculties ; the intel- 
lectual faculties, the moral sentiments, and the 
animal propensities, and as either of these great 
compartments exceed in development, quantity 
and quality, so does the principal action of each 
come into operation according to size, weight, 
and configuration. Astrologers, according to 
Ptolemy, say that the intellectual faculties are 
governed by the planet Mercury, as first ruler 



152 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

and significator ; the moral and religious senti- 
ments under the dominion of the benevolent 
planet Jupiter ; and the animal inclinations and 
propensities under the influence of the Moon ; 
and inasmuch as those planets harmonize and 
agree with each other in what is called good 
aspect of position, in proportionate and agreeable 
figures, so is perfection conferred upon the mind 
of the individual. If the testimonies are discor- 
dant or contrary, either in quality, position, or 
quantity, amongst each other, and as they are 
afflicted by the evil influence of the malific pla- 
nets, so does the mind suffer in point of endow- 
ments, inclinations, and propensities. Inasmuch 
as the planet Mercury is ruler of the intellectual 
faculties, so Venus is a co-ruler governing me- 
lody, joy, wit, tune, and assisting the intellectual 
faculties. These planets, when combined in com- 
mendable positions, bearing testimony to each 
other, and in good aspect with Jupiter, the Sun, 
or Moon, or each of them, the intellectual endow- 
ment is very superior ; if Mercury and Venus 
are in good aspect to Mars (or the organ of com- 
bativeness, in phrenology), it confers a great 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 153 

acuteness to the intellectual faculties, giving a 
spirit and determination to carry those good qua- 
lities into effect with a martial and firm resolu- 
tion. The Sun is co-ruler with the planet Ju- 
piter of the moral and religious qualities or sen- 
timents, and Saturn and Mars are co-rulers with 
the Moon over the animal propensities and incli- 
nations, as the planet Venus harmonizes with 
the planet Mercury in ruling the intellectual fa- 
culties, so does the Sun harmonise with the planet 
Jupiter as co-ruler of the moral sentiments. The 
vSun usually personates, according to the rules of 
astrology, kings, princes, judges, and all superior 
persons, and is significator of honour and gran- 
deur, the Sun being the centre of the solar system, 
the great fountain of heat and light. The planet 
Jupiter is significator of the dignitaries of the 
church, priests, judges, truth, benevolence, 
justice, religion, &c. Do not these two most 
ponderous bodies of the solar system inspire us 
with wonder, marvellousness, hope, veneration, 
consentiousness, and benevolence ? Both have 
been worshipped in former ages by the common 
people as gods ; the planet Jupiter as the god of 



J 54 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

benevolence and justice, and the Sun as the sole 
life and spirit of the heavens, which will be found 
to harmonise in signification with the organs be- 
longing to the moral sentiments as arranged by 
phrenologists. The co-significators of the ani- 
mal propensities are the planets Saturn (ruling 
the organ of destructiveness), and Mars (ruling 
the organ of combativeness) ; the planet Saturn 
effects destruction by secretiveness, coldness, de- 
liberation, and death ; but Mars by violence, 
fury, and combativeness. If these organs are 
strongly developed, and the lunar region also 
extensive, destruction and murder will most 
likely result from the combined influence or testi- 
monies of the animal powers and organs when 
brought into operation ; but if the planets Mer- 
cury and Venus are in power, and in a friendly 
aspect or position, with the planet Jupiter and the 
Sun, predominating in quality and quantity over 
the animal development, then will the action, of 
the good faculties overcome the evil propensities, 
just as the phrenologist says that the intellectual 
faculties and moral sentiments are more strongly 
formed and developed than the animal propensi- 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 155 

ties, consequently it is an argument in favour of 
the actions of such. an individual. This subject, 
alone, would require a volume to state the facts 
requisite to class and define the analogy that 
exists between astrology and phrenology. Many 
persons are of opinion that a knowledge of these 
sciences will elucidate many matters in natural 
philosophy, which have not been taken into con- 
sideration. 

We shall proceed with the comparison of 
the angles in the natal figure of the heavens, 
and the organs that appear in the plate to 
be located in them ; the eastern angle is termed 
the ascendant, because the sun, stars, and planets 
are first observed to ascend above the horizon in 
this part of the heavens ; it is also called the 
house of life, and often, according to the plane- 
tary positions and signs in this house, defines the 
zodiacal or planetary physiognomy of the indi- 
vidual. When Mars is in this house he gene- 
rally indicates a mark or scar on the face, accord- 
ing to the number of mundane degrees in which 
he is posited, either higher up or lower down on 
the face. Venus in the ascendant at birth, par- 



156 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

ticularly if in the sign Libra, usually gives a 
beautiful round face, inclining to oval, with a 
dimple or other graceful mark on the counte- 
nance. Mr, Varley, in his Zodiacal Physiog- 
nomy, has given several specimens to illustrate 
this part of physiognomy. 

In this, the first house or ascendant, we notice 
the perceptive faculties are located and exercised 
to observe all things that ascend or present 
themselves to our view, we judge of their weight, 
resistance, colour, form, arrangement and order, 
the quality of the ascendant maybe said to be- 
long to this class ; individuality, love for variety, 
and desire of being acquainted with ascending 
or passing events, therefore these faculties are 
based upon the eyes and language by which 
they are brought into operation. This house 
is also said to be the house of life, the nostrils 
are located in this house, we are told in Genesis, 
that "life was breathed into the nostrils of man 
by his Creator, and he became a living soul ;'' 
the eyes and the perceptive faculties are particu- 
larly useful to man, in order to preserve his life, 
and to defend his head and face from injuries 






PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 1.57 

and accidents, the eyes are continually on the 
watch, assisted by language, and the ears, in order 
to avert approaching danger, or to gratify the 
intellectual or animal desires. The ears of man 
are in trine to the eyes and perceptive faculties, 
forming also a triangle by the chin, the poinfc or 
end of things as regards the countenance, and 
when strongly developed, this feature often adds 
a shrewd sharpness to the decision and expres- 
sions of the individual, and when ill proportioned 
and not in character with the jaw-bone and face, 
folly instead of shrewdness will be the result of 
the individual's conclusions. It has been ob- 
served by some persons acquainted with this 
subject, that what Physiognomy declares, it is 
very seldom entirely contradicted either by the 
Phrenological or Astrological judgment, on the 
contrary, most generally confirmed on a minute 
and deliberate examination of each, which has 
led me from various experiments to express my 
opinion in favour of the harmony that exists 
between these sciences. We shall next take the 
south angle, zenith or mid-heaven, into conside- 
ration. In astrology this angle signifies, pro- 
o 



158 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

fession, dignity, the house of kings, princes, 
governors, and all men in authority, the highest 
degree of eminence in the figure, the angle of 
honour ; and being in the highest point, and 
midst of heaven, and in a spiritual sense of the 
word, the Deity Himself; on reference to the 
diagram, we perceive in this elevated angle of 
the heavens, the moral sentiments ruled by the 
planet Jupiter and the Sun are located here! 
the organ of veneration, supported by the trine 
on each side of marvellousness, or wonder, on 
one side, and on the other side by the organs of 
justice or conscientiousness. Astrologians and 
theologians are well acquainted that the equilateral 
triangle signifies harmony, perfection, and friend- 
ship. It appears that this angle is not deficient 
in bearing testimony to the analogy that exists 
in the position of the Phrenological head with 
the Astrological figure ; can any thing be more 
classical than that the organ of veneration should 
be located on the highest point of the head, and 
in the midst of all the other faculties, which con- 
cur to support and maintain this noble and 
grateful sentiment ? In the astrological figure 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 159 

this angle is situated in the highest point and 
midst of heaven, being the tenth house thereof, 
and preceded on one side by the ninth house, 
the house of religion and science, and succeeded 
by the eleventh house on the other side, the 
house of friends, assistance, and hopes, so that 
whether we consider the organs which surround 
the organ of veneration, or the nature and sig- 
nifications of the houses in aspect and on each 
side the mid-heaven or south angle, we cannot 
but feel convinced that a certain analogy exists, 
which will become the more evident as we seek 
to make the comparison of agreement. The 
western angle is that part or division of the 
heavens, in and above the point of the western 
horizon, it is numbered the seventh house of 
heaven by astrologers, and signifies the house 
or compartment allotted for wife, husband, or 
lovers, the persons with whom we are in partners, 
the public foes, or open enemies of the native ; 
it has also signification of the place we travel to, 
or the house and country in which we wish to 
reside ; a division of the posterior part of the 
head and brain is located in this angle or astro- 



160 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

logical house. The nature of the animal pro- 
pensities as arranged by phrenology appear to 
correspond with the signification of this angle, 
here we have the organ of inhabitiveness, or 
concentrativeness, which imparts a strong desire 
(when well developed) for some particular place, 
person, an eagerness to settle in life, or to form 
matrimonial alliance. Philoprogenitiveness or 
love of offspring, is also located here, which has 
a near affinity to the desire of lovers, partners, 
or wives, the organ of attachment is also associ- 
ated with this concourse in the western angle, and 
seventh house, thus forming the social portion 
of this angle. The organs combativeness and 
destructiveness, are rather retired, but still in 
the western field, and when these organs are 
strongly developed, the public opponents and 
open enemies of such individuals often feel the 
effects of their utility, and when blended with 
the moral and intellectual faculties, give a noble 
and manly spirit to overcome every obstacle by 
perseverance and activity, but when united with 
the animal propensities, it inclines to overcome 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 161 

difficulties by destruction, violence, persecution, 
and sometimes death of the opposing party. 

The nadir, or north angle, which is under the 
earth and horizon, being perpendicular thereto, 
and is the opposite point to the south angle ; 
astrologers call this north angle the fourth house. 
It is an occult house of the first order, wherein 
things are hidden from our view and secret. It 
is termed the Father's House of Life. Estates, 
land, and houses, from the father; mines and 
secret places, the wife's angle of honour. From 
this angle the brain is supplied with blood by the 
great arteries from this house, and from which 
the nerves communicate their action to the brain, 
by which means the whole system of phrenology 
is brought into action, and the functions of the 
brain are kept alive. It is generally allowed 
that unless the act of a father concurs, the child 
cannot be formed or produced, therefore if that 
is the case there cannot be anything more appro- 
priate than the fluids and nerves communicating 
existence, are by this act brought into energy, 
proceeding from the father's house of life or ex- 
istence. This appears in order and harmony 
o 2 



162 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

with the signification of both in the astrological 
and phrenological point of view. The descen- 
dants of royalty and kings are usually denoted by 
or styled princes of the royal blood, which title 
proceeds from the father's house, and that legiti- 
mate honours usually proceed from this angle, 
which applies both to nobles and commoners, 
being descended from a high family or illustrious 
parents, usually are attended with titles, land, 
property, and possessions, proceeding from the 
father's house or north angle. Now it appears 
evident that the functions of the brain depend 
entirely upon the support and assistance received 
from this house or angle, in order to diffuse life 
and energy to the whole system ; and as the sup- 
ply from this angle is diminished in quantity or 
vitiated in quality, so must the organization of 
the individual suffer in a greater or less degree in 
a phrenological point of view, and how this har- 
monises as regards property, estates, possessions, 
&c. inherited from the father or fourth house. 
Astrology teaches us thus much regarding this 
part of phrenology, that if the organs be ever so 
well developed in the head and brain, that their 



PHRENOLOGY. AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 1(53 

force, strength, power, and operation, will be 
only in proportion as they are supplied from this 
house, the nerves and arteries, and as regards 
property and estates the quality of the blood and 
nerves, and all things inherited from the father. 
For instance, the organ of benevolence may be 
strongly developed and associated with other 
oood qualities, the intellectual and moral organs 
in the brain of a man descended from obscure 
parents in poverty, what would that avail for the 
benefit of mankind at large? — it would actually 
serve to make the poor man more miserable by 
not having it in his power to act according to 
his desire, which is bv no means an uncommon 
circumstance. But let us suppose that the said 
individual was born in an elevated position in 
life, and supplied from this angle by his revenues, 
land estates, &c. then this individual's good 
qualities will become conspicuous, and have their 
full effect to benefit his countrymen or fellow- 
creatures. Not onlv is the strength and bodily 
health of an individual to be taken into account 
bv phrenologists, but the wealth and pecuniary 
circumstances ou^ht at all times to be regarded. 



164 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

There are many men who are actually living in a 
state of starvation and cannot form an idea of what 
their organization is until they are supplied with 
the necessary nourishment to bring the circula- 
tion of the blood and the nervous system into 
operation. We cannot doubt but many worthy 
members of society are obscured from the view of 
the world, in an intellectual point of view, and in 
a worldly sense, despised, not for anything more 
criminal than " poverty alone." But who is 
there among us that is possessed of manly feelings, 
who would not endeavour to advance the objects 
of a science that teaches us to discern the valua- 
ble portion of society, and to bring them into a 
situation to benefit themselves, and at the same 
time to promote the general good of society ? 
Wealth is not always the attendant of wisdom, 
virtue, and talented individuals ; it is most gene- 
rally observed in those persons whose animal 
propensities and acquisitiveness, self-esteem and 
other organs in operation, make a rapid advance 
in life, and obtain the good things thereof, whilst 
the man of intellectual and moral endowments is 
wading through difficulties and privations, per- 



PHUENOL' GV, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 165 

haps labouring for the good of his fellow-crea- 
tures, during the period that the other individual 
is amassing riches, and indulging himself in all 
manner of recreations and enjoyments. As the 
rude and illiterate portions of society raise them- 
selves in the world by accumulating wealth, it 
proves to the man of learning that wealth is the 
one thing needful : they do not scruple to call 
such men mad and infatuated ; but when the 
man of learning has got sufficient property to 
supply his wants, the contrast of happiness 
which he enjoys is far superior to any pleasure 
the illiterate man is capable of imagining ; thus 
is wisdom rewarded by leading us to true happi- 
ness, which can only be derived from the exercise 
of the intellectual faculties and moral sentiments, 
all other enjoyments are merely transitory when 
compared with it, according to the opinion of the 
greatest philosophers. But to return to the sub- 
ject ; we have only considered the analogy of the 
angles with the head and brain, but if we were 
to consider all the astrological houses we should 
find that they all bear equal testimony to the first 
idea thereof. 



166 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

In the second house of heaven we perceive the 
mouth and chin located in this house, which 
signifies riches, jewels, money, and moveable 
goods, this organ chiefly belongs to the physiog- 
nomist's consideration. Perhaps the portion of 
the brain hidden from our view, and pointing to 
this house, may shew the organic qualities 
described by the mouth to the physiognomist; 
the form of the mouth is considered one of the 
most expressive features of the face. Men are 
generally guided in their language and expres- 
sions by the nature and extent of their riches or 
wealth ; the boaster is known by the form of this 
feature, the man capable of keeping a secret, and 
the language of those who exult to degrade and 
oppress those persons that misfortune has placed 
in a capacity under them : the various forms of this 
feature alone, with its signification, would require 
the pen of a Shakspeare or a Byron to describe. 
But in those who are fortunate enough to have a 
well developed formation of mouth it will be found 
to harmonize with the organ benevolence at one 
point, and with amativeness or love in the other 
point, in exact trine to each other; it will 






PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 167 

generally be observed that when benevolence is 
well developed and associated with other good 
organs that the mouth of such individual is well 
formed. Benevolence expressed by harmonious 
language or words from the house of wealth 
generally produces a noble effect. The third 
house signifies relatives, neighbours, and short 
journeys for business and pleasure; the under 
part of the chin, throat, and jaw bone is located 
in this division ; how often is it said that such a 
person is held up by the chin, either by relatives 
or neighbours. Men often hold up their chin if 
they happen to be the distant relatives of a Lord 
or Duke, let their circumstances be ever so hum- 
ble. I perceive the organ of gustativeness 
situated to the front of destructiveness, and under 
the organ acquisitiveness, (signifies, desire of 
food or appetite) this organ points towards this 
house, short journeys for pleasure, and to dine 
out with relatives or friends is appropriate, and 
proves that each science will unfold each other as 
we trace their analogy. In the fifth house, or 
house of pleasure, children, embassies, &c. in 
which is located the organ of amativeness, fond- 



J 68 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, 

ness for pleasure, propagating the species, and all 
other pleasures which are necessary to uphold the 
spirit of this influential organ, and when harmo- 
nised with benevolence well developed, the person 
then delights in giving pleasure to others, and 
making them happy, jolly, and comfortable. 

The sixth house signifies servants, tenants, vas- 
sals, sickness, and small animals; the organ adhe- 
siveness or attachment belongs to this house. 
Persons are usually attached to their servants, 
vassals, and tenants, excessive attachment to 
sundry propensities, especially those located in 
this part of the heavens, will often produce 
sickness or disease. The seventh house has 
been mentioned. The eighth house is said to 
be the house of death, being an occult house, 
and the house of our opponent's riches, the organs 
destructiveness and secretiveness have a strong 
affinity for the house of death. The ninth house 
signifies religion, the organ conscientiousness is 
located in this house, supported by veneration, 
firmness in the cause of religion. The eleventh 
house of heaven is the house of friends, hopes, 
and expectations ; the organs of hope are in trine 



PHRENOLOGY, AND PHYSIOGNOMY. 169 
to benevolence which harmonizes with expectations 
and friendship. The twelfth house signifies the 
place of private enemies, imprisonment, affliction, 
large cattle, great machines, locomotive engines, 
&c, the organ of constructiveness, ideality, com- 
parison, and many of the organs in the front 
part of the brain are required for the use of this 
division of the heavens. This subject may be 
greatly enlarged, and other views of the head 
taken as respects the figure. 

The author of the Zodiacal Planisphere has 
remarked that in the view of a front face in the 
diagram for a man when placed as a judge, one 
ear is in the plaintiff's or complainant's house, 
and the other in the defendant's or opponent's 
house, that is one ear for each side of the question. 
We then perceive all the noble faculties located 
in the house of justice and honour, with compa- 
rison in the centre, exerted to discover and 
distinguish between right and wrong ; although 
some persons may not discern the testimonies of 
analogy at the first view, experience will prove 
that neither the science of astrology, phrenology, 
or physiognomy are delusions invented by mad. 



170 HARMONY OF ASTROLOGY, &C. 

men. It must appear evident that the Babylo- 
nians and Chaldeans would not have preserved 
the observations of the heavenly bodies for so 
many years, if it was not to cultivate astrology, 
and to compare the effects of the planets and 
aspects at different periods, and then from the 
experience and observations in the course of 
several hundred years they were enabled to form 
rules which have been handed down to posterity, 
and from which the ancients and moderns have 
derived great advantages. Astrology goes far 
beyond the limits prescribed by phrenology or 
physiognomy ; Moses says, that the sun, moon, 
and stars were not only created to give light, 
but to bear rule both by day and night, for signs, 
and for seasons, for days and for years.
